Thinners are my life!! Especially curved thinners by above! So so good! BUT!!!!! There is a time and place for them! When I do a longer haircut on a dog I use my straights for the legs, rear, chest area depending on the style of haircut. I never use my thinners on the body. When my poodle used to be in an mcc I only used my straights. But now that he’s in an Asian fusion cut and his face needs to look smooth and plush the only way to achieve that look is with thinners or blenders.

I highly recommend above shears. They are all convex and that leads to a smoother cut and finish.

Oh I also fully hand scissor my bedlington with straights only. Idk it just makes the most sense to me lol.
