Grooming Scissors for Dogs Reviews: The Oster Covex2 Scissor

in Scissors by Jan (updated on March 12, 2017)

The Oster Convex2 Heavy 8-Inch Straight Scissor is an easy-to-use grooming shear, perfectly suited for the more difficult coats such as that needed for a Poodle clip.

It makes it much easier to get through the curly coat, typical of Poodle breeds or the thicker coat of a Bichon for example.

The handle makes for more comfortable cutting because of the fact that you can adjust the tension and it has a finger rest that can be removed if preferred.

Andis AGC2 2 Speed Detachable Dog Clippers Available on Amazon

in Andis / Dog Clippers by Jan (updated on November 12, 2018)

The Andis AGC2 Super 2-Speed Professional Grooming Clipper is an all-purpose animal clipper that has earned glowing reviews and is ideal for an all over body clipping as well as for a quick trim.

The blade can be easily detached from this quiet, cool running clipper and you have the choice of 2 different speeds, each of which is very powerful. And this is a feature that professional groomers have come to expect.

Other than the blade, you don’t have to worry about keeping internal parts oiled, which makes for a very low maintenance tool.
