Which is better for dog grooming... Plastic snap on combs, or Stainless steel (metal) snap on combs?
I've been a groomer for 4 years now and I started off with plastic, but then got recommend metal combs.. but they break so easily. Any opinions would be nice. also any recommendations on good straight shears would be awesome
Answer:
Plastic works & are inexpensive to replace. Geib is a good brand with a wide selection to choose from & prices. You chose which scissors fit best for your hand & can afford. I love using 10" straight & curved rather than 8" unless I'm grooming a tiny dog. Saves time & effort.

Choosing the Best Dog Grooming Shears
As an owner who loves to groom your pet dogs, you might realize that a good pair of dog grooming shears is essential to giving a decent groom. Hence, here are some pointers to choosing the best dog grooming shears available.
Even if you are trying to save up on money, do not buy the cheapest ones around. On the long run, you are able to save up more than buying cheaper ones. The logic is simple. With cheap shears, they are not able to cut the hair properly. You end up spending much time trying to get the additional hair cut, and may end up having to get another equipment to cut off the excess hair. If you are using a cheap electrical shear, you will end up using more electricity during your much futile attempts. Worst case scenario, you may end up damaging your dog's hair, where you may need to bring your dog to a professional groomer to correct the mistakes. On the other hand, the costlier best ones in the market are the best for a reason – you can cut your dog's hair effortlessly and quickly. On the long run, you do save up on electricity.
When it comes to finding the best dog grooming shears, you would want to invest in a professional dog grooming shear. These are designed to last a long time to suit professionals, as they spend a great deal of time in their line of duty. Professional dog grooming shears are also more reliable, as people working in this field will need a trusty pair to get their job done. Apart from that, look out for those that come with attachments of varying length options. You may want to use different blades for different areas of hair, or different breed of dogs. A pair of shear with a set of different attachments allows you to kill two birds with one stone, as you will not need to look for other shears to make accommodations. These also last longer as you can use the correct blades for the different types of hair.
