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.

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.

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

[MatricesOddity]

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

Nice, but where do you by your 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.

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?

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.
