EHASO

EHASO makes grooming scissors and nothing else, and the whole range turns on that single trade.

Four shapes cover most of the work. Straights for lines and finishing; curves, from 13 cm for ears and paws up to 25 cm for volume; thinners and blenders from 30 teeth upwards, to take weight out without leaving a mark; and chunkers to break a line that has come out too clean.

Two materials sit side by side: stainless steel, hard-wearing and easy to re-sharpen, and titanium-cobalt, harder, which holds its edge longer on thick coats. The Revolution line gathers the more recent models.

A pair of scissors is chosen with the hand first: blade length to suit the size of dog you work on, weight to suit how long you work.
