hi THL im jus wondering what is the best way to strip back my border.

Between your finger and thumb and if the coat is ready to be stripped it'll come off pretty easily.Yes,it's a bit of work and you'll probably get a bit of cramp in the named fingers.No need for anything else,mamma nature provided everyone with the ideal dog stripping tool

exactly selwyn!!! use a bit of chalk block to get a better grip if you want....but thats all....au naturel!!!

INVEST IN A STRIPPING KNIFE

 

good advice!

[borderman 0]

finger and thumb and some chalk

 

IMO i wouldnt invest in a stripping comb/blade/knife as they can cut the hair rather than pull it and then the coat may curl

thin latex rubber gloves for grip & loads of patience ,horse grooming block to brush the dead coat out !!

Either finger and thumb or a stripping knife....you could use a stripping stone but use it before the bath not after as it leaves black grit in the coat....Strip the coat once dry...you'll get a better finish on a clean coat...

 

hope this website helps....
