These scissors have a specially shaped cutting edge that is designed to leave a soft edge. They can be used for blending different lengths of hair e.g. from areas that have been clipped to longer uncut hair. Also they are ideal for reducing the ‘weight’ of hair without leaving a hard cut edge. Not recommended for trimming hair from around the eyes, please use ‘ball-end’ safety scissors for this. Make sure your pet’s coat is free from knots, matting and tangles, if necessary brush or comb these out first.
