Professional Application & Operational Dynamics
The CT-65 is the “Ultimate Finisher” for the face and legs. When a stylist wants to soften the transition between the clipped body and hand-scissored legs, these 64-tooth blenders provide a gradual, natural transition that looks entirely organic. They are the primary tool for “erasing” any small mistakes made during the initial scissoring process.
In grooming schools, the CT-65 is used to teach “Soft Styling.” Students learn how to “skim” the surface of the coat to remove stray guard hairs and refine the shape of the head without altering the overall length. Its 58g weight is perfectly balanced for the “soft-touch” technique required for high-end finishing.

Integrated Solutions for Professional Challenges
- Problem: Visible “Scissor Steps” in the Coat: The 64-tooth density provides a microscopic blend that eliminates the stair-step look.
- Problem: Snagging and Pulling Fine Hair: The polished V-notches and VG10 steel ensure a smooth slice through every follicle.
- Problem: Inconsistent Thinning Results: Precision alignment ensures the 45% removal rate is uniform across the entire blade.
Expert Consultation & Technical FAQs
- What does “45% removal” mean? For every closure, 45% of hair between the teeth is cut, allowing for gradual, safe thinning.
- Can I use these to remove mats? No, for mats, use the CHOP series or a de-matting tool.
- How do I clean the teeth? Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) to remove hair from notches daily, then oil.
- Are they good for thick coats? They are best for “finishing” thick coats. For “bulk removal,” see our TS-70 Fishbone series.
- What is the V-notch advantage? The V-shape guides hair to the blade center for a clean cut without tearing.

These thinning shears are excellent for removing bulk while maintaining the pet’s coat structure. I use them all the time for my grooming business.
