How to Shave Fake Fur

[Whitewolfprint]

Also could you do some plush tutorials? You're really good at it! .3.

[Whitewolfprint]

cool! This would work on fursuits right? .3.

[KiowaTheStaticNinja]

May I ask where you get your fur?

[NumberTwoRox]

If shaving the fur on a mask, would you recommend shaving the fur before or after application?

[BlizzardtheWolf97]

I'm working on a fursuit head with long-pile fur, and I'm unsure if shaving is necessary... the fur itself sort of smooths down and stays down extremely well, and it looks very nice when smoothed. However, it does fluff out at times, and it doesn't look very good then.. I can't afford a professional grooming kit either..

...Would there possibly be like a hair product or something I could use to make the fur on my suit stay smooth, without losing it's softness? Like styling mousse, maybe?

[xOTashiaOx]

This was really helpfull <3 I know you can use it for fursuit heads. But can you use it for shaving bodysuits? I have a duct tape dummy and everything.

What kind of a shaver are you using to shave the fur?

[puppyloveers]

where do you get the fur?

[Bucklover4]

Is it just easier for an inexperienced furry to by short fur

[Mcarsonisdumb]

Your plushies are excellent; you get better with every go-at-it. :'D

I'm always really inspired by your work. I wanna try to make a plush of my 'sona so bad aaaaaaaaaa

I ended up getting a somewhat better grade of pet shaver myself for when I worked on the fur for my suit's head. The fur fibers tends to sneak in between the blades rather easily if your not careful on the lower grade shavers.

I also noticed that some furs look different when they are shaved too.

You did a good job on the tutorial, thanks. :)

In response to how much those grooming kits are, you are looking $200-500 brand new. I work in a pet store.

Hey, thanks for doing this tutorial. I don't use the guards on my clippers and I know I've definitely screwed some things up as a result. I should definitely try doing it this way, you always get such nice results.

[MUSTGOCOSPLAY]

what kind or shaver do u use or recommended and about how much do they cost?

[MatricesOddity]

@MUSTGOCOSPLAY This shaver I am using is an Andis shaver, its lasted me a very long time I can't remember how much it was (I think in this case this is the one I recieved as a gift) ... Look in the pet grooming department, of your local department store. They usually sell them there, and you can price out a model that comes as a kit with oil and guards.

[ClassyZombieYT]

Great tutorial. You have a pleasant voice. There are many tutorials done where the user either have a boring or obnoxious voice so this was a nice change from what I normally see.

[MatricesOddity]

@ClassyZombieYT Thank you for the compliment! I appreciate it. I try. :3

[Kyuubi1161]

Awesome! are you gonna make a tutorial on how to make these? :)

[MatricesOddity]

@Kyuubi1161 "These" being the plushies? There is a tutorial included inside the PDF file you download with the pattern! :D

[baltofanplay]

I love those plushies.. Do you take commissions?

[MatricesOddity]

[baltofanplay]

@MatricesOddity Oww! You really could earn many moneys on it ^^

Thanks for your answer ^^ I just sadly can't sew.. ): ..

[Marinemiketobe]

Nice, but where do you by your fur?

[MechaMuffin1]

@Marinemiketobe I know the main place I see people buying their fur (I do as well) is at distinctivefabric[dot]com =]
