A Facebook Live video :  I talk about what products and slicker brush I use, plus some scissortips. I show how I do 2 different type of bichon heads.

Here are the links for the scissors for those of you that are not on Facebook:

1)This is a cheaper option than the straight scissor. Its still lightweight and sharp- and a fraction of the price…… its very good -I use it every day. Its just that the black one is even better……

2)This is the straight scissor I was using – I LOVE IT… but its very sensitive….. like a sports car 😅 and expensive 😂

3)Here is a link to the chunker I was using – All three scissors in this listing were good. But the chunker impressed me the most.
The straight scissor is strong and sharp and good for removing bulk , but I didn’t feel it was the best for detail work . and the thinner was an ok average thinner.
