Groomers Simply G Thinning Scissors - 6.5" - 46T

Thinning scissors are used to remove bulk from a coat, soften hard lines, and create a more natural, blended finish after primary scissoring.

The scissors should glide smoothly when opened and closed. When cutting hair, they should cut cleanly without snagging. You should be able to cut a test strand with moderate effort. Adjust until you find a comfortable and effective cutting action.

These scissors are generally suitable for most coat types. However, for very dense or matted coats, it's recommended to de-mat and thin gradually to avoid excessive pulling.

It is recommended to oil your thinning scissors at least weekly, or more often if used daily, to maintain their performance and prevent rust.

No, the Groomers Simply G 6.5" Thinning Scissors are designed for right-handed use. A left-handed version is available separately.

The ball bearing screw helps maintain smooth operation. Ensure it is kept clean and lubricated with scissor oil regularly. Adjust tension as needed using the provided key.

The tension is likely too high. Use the included tension key to slightly loosen the screw by turning it counter-clockwise.

Check the tension; it might be too loose. Tighten the screw slightly clockwise. Ensure the blades are clean and properly aligned. If the issue persists, the blades may need professional sharpening.

Ensure you are using consistent strokes and angles. Practice on less visible areas first. Verify the scissor tension is set correctly for your desired cutting action.

Wipe blades immediately after use and dry thoroughly. Store in a dry environment. Light rust can sometimes be removed with a fine-grit whetstone or a professional cleaning and re-oiling.
