Has anyone cut faux fur with this? My daughter likes to make animal tails.

Yes. I have cut faux fur and leather and much, much more. These are the best $50 that I spent and will continue to purchase from Amazon. I am a professional quilter and use these primarily for cutting batting for my customer quilts but every once in a while husband borrows these for cutting heavy material in his "man cave".

I didn't. Cut mine, but I've seen others on here that have said it could be cut to fit fairly easily. It's pretty thick so it could take some time and talent, but it would definitely be manageable.

It worked well on our Aussie. She also has a lot of hair. We use the attachments, blue and sold separate. It makes for a nice hair cute. We did a winter hair cut also.

I have not, sorry, but I use it on my show pugs and it works great, mainly for whiskers, does not vibrate so much.

I have used it some on cattails and it cuts them quite well. You have to tug pretty good sometimes though. Overall I am very pleased.

I have the same problem. However, I think it also depends on the hair texture. The silkier they are, the worse the blade can handle. I will get a shorter blade next time.

Yes - We have had great results with the blades we purchased fitting on our Andis clipper!We use it several times a year to cut our Labradoodles fur. We are super happy with the items.!

Yes this should. You may want to use a bigger comb to start with to get through the fur and then go back with a smaller comb if needed.

Hi Terri: I have not tried the Furminator on a small short haired dog: However, next time I go to the animal shelter I will try it on a few different dogs and get back to Amazon with my experiment.

No my schnauzer has thick hair and it did cut well, it left patches of long hair I had to go over it two or three times. And it runs hot kind of fast so I had to cut half of her then wait awhile and cut the rest of her

I have a Shih-Tzu and an American Eskimo and it cuts both their hair with no problems other than the clippers get incredibly hot fairly fast. So be prepared for breaks, which I'm sure your pup will appreciate. ;)

My dog is 1 yr old. Breed is an Aussiedoodle which has long fur. She has had no issue. If your dog is short hair it might be uncomfortable. I usually use warm water which might soften the bristles. A couple things to be sure and do is don't squeeze the paw as you plunge and don't force the paw down mashing it on the bottom of the container. This is easy to do. I hold the paw stationary and go up and down with ten paw plunger.

Try liquid fabric softener in a spray bottle. You will have to cut the frayed ends off, but if you can comb the knots down to the end, you can just cut them off. That's what I ended up doing. Twice. I immediately braided her hair to try to keep it from tangling for a while. That lasted for a few months. Now it's down again and I predict another haircut for our Rapunzel. Such a disappointment. Good luck!

I'm unsure, haven't tried it. But I would believe it might pull off the fur since it sucks it in and cuts it.

I haven't yet. But I think it would be too thick for skinning. Came sharp though I know that.

The fur is very firm yet huggable soft. We easily clean it with a damp cloth and if dirtier use a drop of Palmolive. Be sure to have a towel to dry it off. Haven't had the need to use a hairdryer...but should work too. The kids love it!!!! By the way the kids are 8 and 7...younger ones might make too damaged to clean well!

The blade it comes with is pretty decent. If you want to buy a specific blade make sure it's an oster blade and it should be comparable. If your looking for the blade covers to cut the fur/hair to different length, the ones I got were made by oster and came as a set with 10 or so different lengths. Hope that helped!
