oneisall Dog Clippers 2-Speed Quiet Grooming Kit Gold

Let me put it shortly: I have two long-haired cats—I didn’t get them for their long hair, it just seemed to grow all by itself—and until my dear wife departed three years ago on Monday I had not thought too much about the cats’ hair being a problem.

In the old days, we just put them in their boxes, got in the car and took them to a groomer’s—we had a couple of favourites—and they came back looking like lions.

But I don’t drive and finding groomers where I live is actually impossible—they don’t exist or they won’t come to your home, or they WILL come to your home but then require your help, which defeats the entire purpose—so when Brigitte went I was really in a mess, because cats don’t brush themselves and long-haired cats are no better equipped than short-haired cats to tame their hair. It’s just as big a problem for them as it is for you.

But it’s not just that there’s cat hair everywhere; it’s that the hair itself makes them sick, often on your living room carpet, because they simply can’t cope with licking away all that fur.

But all long-haired cats are not equal. Some have coarse, stiffer individual hairs and relatively little down (very fine, almost curly hairs that are the ones that will mat first and which are usually found in the most delicate areas) and both my cats are, wouldn’t ya know it, completely opposite.

One has beautiful fine fluffy fur that is incredible to stroke and the other has the lion-type flowing locks that defy all attempts to brush.

To put it mildly, I was not looking forward to having to groom these cats. Plus, one, the black-haired lioness, Pika, has a point at which she will, with incredible speed, lash out at the unwary whose ministrations stray to certain “kill” spots, at which she changes from a placid , purring little Pika to a vicious, bite-to-injure she-devil.

I remember groomers who suddenly became busy when I called to see if they had any spots for my two fleabags . . . yet the other cat, Kai, a male best resembling a Norwegian Forest Cat, is a very laid-back cat who almost never miaows and has never hissed or growled at anything, to my knowledge.

So they’re like Fire and Rain, and this was the task set before me one fine day about three years ago.

Desperate, I looked up everything I could on how to cut cats’ hair, but there found a forest of conflicting advice, along with the obviously doctored YouTube videos of placid cats being rolled over to be shaved and other funny cat videos.

So this is where I was when I spotted this shaver on Amazon. The selling point was obvious: “QUIET.” The cats are used to things that buzz, click, ring and chirp, so one more device shouldn’t alarm them, but when it’s next to their ear they start to pay attention.

So I got them where I knew they would be at their most calm: in the bathroom, where they like to sit on the counter while I take a bath, or perform my arcane pre-bed rituals, so that is where I deployed the One-Is ALL.

Indeed, the shaver is quiet; quieter than the shaver I use to shave my face, by a factor of at least two! So I practiced bringing it near the cats and all went well.

Then the crunch: I selected Pika, because I thought she was going to be the most difficult. But surprise! She let me shave all I wanted, purring and —OUT CAME THE FANGS and scored a direct hit on my forearm, but it was, indeed, only a laceration an inch long.

But then I discovered the heaviest weapon there is to defend yourself against these Possible-Trips-To-The-ER . . . it is called simply **DISTRACTION.**

With Pika, her rather odd obsession is chewing on hairbrushes, so if I put a hairbrush in front of her face and she starts chewing it or obsessing over it, I find I can do almost anything almost anywhere. (Kai will go nuts for catnip).

It’s a huge art, distracting the front end of a cat while shaving the back end, but the One-is-All shaver makes this easy. Although I have precious little experience, I manage to do a pretty good job, especially in tricky areas, like the back of their hind legs (which they HATE, for some weird reason). I use the shaver facing up or facing down, whichever way seems to be getting the best results at the time, but I do NOT bother with the attached plastic guides and all those accessories—the naked shaver is all you need to get the job semi-done.

Remember, this is not a beauty context, so if your animal comes out looking like it just went through a feather-plucking machine, DON’T WORRY. The cats will NOT care, nor will they grumble among themselves about the lousy job you did on their ear, or that now one looks like a dictator who shall remain nameless . . . before you know it, it will ALL HAVE GROWN BACK, covering up your amazing work, so get ready for Round II, and II, and so on until they (and you) have grown old.

And don’t worry that my ER friend told me “cat bites are the worst for infections, you’re in big trouble if you get one.” I’ve been bitten now probably over a thousand times by various cats and nothing ever happened to me . . . But long story short: I’ve used this shaver on both cats and they both have come to accept it as the Price For Sitting On the Bathroom Counter . . . I just shave away and let the fur fall where it may; then leave it lay, for—you guessed it—another day.

Dura la batería, no es ruidosa, las peinetas pasan súper bien en el pelaje de los pequeños, es inalámbrica y no hay que cargarla tan seguido, dependiendo del uso que le de.

I have a small dog and grooming has gotten expensive. Almost 90 in my area. Saw this kit and took a chance. I’ve never cut any kind of hair, and I was scared. The instructions are okay, but looking up videos on YouTube helped. It comes with different sized guards which help a ton. The other accessories are helpful as well. It is not noisy either which is good.

In the end. I was scared about doing it myself. This kit made it easy and fun and for the price you can’t beat that!

I purchased this razor for my 16 1/2 Pomeranian after buying the Onesil paw pad trimmer. I liked the paw pad trimmer very much with its performance and low noise. My Pom does not like loud sounds So, I ordered this razor and was very pleased! Her cut looks pretty good if I do say so myself and she did not mind me cutting her hair. The low noise helped to stop her from freaking out. I had to stop taking her to my groomer because my dog goes ballistic when my groomer grooms her anymore and my Pom has congestive heart failure. So I was hoping I would have better luck myself and I did. I highly recommend this razor it is a great product! and thanks to Onesil my Pom is looking good again. Thank you Onesil!

I was excited to try this new version. I bought an older version of this clipper, same brand 2 years ago and it worked great but had a few issues. Saw this newer model with better features and I am not disappointed. It is cordless which makes it so much accessible. They fixed the problem it had of over heating, cuts allot more smoothly, the plastic removable guards are much better quality so they no longer bend when cutting my poodles hair. The only reason I give it a 4 is because the guards slip off too easily. For the price it is very much worth it! It also doesn’t make much noise so helps your pup stay calm!

It works great on dogs with curly to wavy hair. I have a pomeranian mix who has super thick hair, it cuts it, but leaves lines for a few days. No big deal to me. My Maltese looks great after a cut. I bought this mostly for the goldendoodle that I’m getting in a few days, but it works great on my all my dogs. It holds a great charge! The battery didn’t even drop after grooming my two dogs for about an hour and a half. Neither of my dogs seem to mind this one as it is quieter than my old one. I also love the fact that you can still use it while being charged. That was a big thing for me as the goldendoodle will be rather large. The only downside is that I wish it came with longer guards for the goldendoodle. Largest is a 1/2 inch and I can’t seem to find any that will fit it aside from the ones that come with it.
