Dear Lisa, Oh...I SO splurged at Hershey.  I didn't need scissors.  I have lots of them.  But...I stopped at the Chris Christensen booth just to check out the scissors, I've heard so much about them.  And, DANG they felt good.  Like, REALLY good.  Like, "Oh I gotta HAVE these," good.  So, in a moment of weakness I bought a set of 10 inch straight shears.  After I got them I kicked myself hard, for days.  WHY did I spend money on scissors?  I could of spent that money on...oh, LOTS of things, like my kids college tuition!  Then, today...I got them out of their pretty box and scissored a Bichon.  I could hear choirs of angels singing and could see rockets going off.  THESE are some NICE scissors.  They have a bit of "spring" to them.  And they are light.  And they cut like  DREAM.  WOW.  At under $200.00 these scissors are (as they say in Main) "some nice!"

I LOVE the CC shears.  I have three, the 8 1/2" Filipino style straight, 8 1/2" curved and the 8 1/2" short shank.  I need to get the 10" ones.  The first time I used them to cut in cocker bevels I almost cried.  I have never had a pair of shears that cuts through cocker hair like butter, but these do!  Plus, they have a lifetime free sharpening, how can you beat that?  Kim

Dear Chris, Picture this:  One Irish Wolfhound in serious need of grooming before finishing his Majors/Championship.  The Irish Wolfhound leaves when he sees you get out the slicker brush.  The Irish Wolfhound lays on his belly, covering legs and putting head under the bed when you go to strip his ears.  This is not a pretty picture, and on top of that, he is a Therapy dog, at school, at the library and at the Veteran's Hospital.  Constant baths only soften his already less than crisp coat.  Now, picture this:  Chris Christensen riding to the rescue; First it was the shears.  Those wonderful shears that work their magic without him hardly knowing you are working on his ears.  Cutting off shaggy hair from those great feet make them look so tight and rounded.  The shears look funny, with those half moon cut outs on the sides, but they are the miracle I needed.  Then I was presented my next wonder:  the wooden pin brush from your Rep.  Tynan has never tolerated the metal slicker brush - it has always been a 2 man job (he weights 175 lbs to brush him).  I won't say he loves it, but he stands and allows me to do the job instead of covering up everything he can.  I was also given the small vials of various products that come in a plastic packet of four - one of which is Miracle Air.  I can now go several weeks without bathing him before each of his visits - and he does not have his doggy smell.  This is wonderful stuff.  I have seen several other things that interest me and will try.  Thank you for having such quality products.  (And, by the way, he did finish his championship easily)!  Jo Ann Lakin

We purchased your ZONE - Trimming Shear, Blunted & Fillistered 5.5" Shear in Ocala, FL at the Gainesville show last Sunday, January 26, 2008.  We also got two Gold Series 20mm and 27mm brushes and a silver 20mm pocket/toy brush, the 7.5" inch skip tooth comb and a snap-on handle, and the Mark X tiny head slicker.  The vendor also gave us a sample White on White Kit.  If your grooming products works as well as your brushes/combs/shears, I'm sure we will be using full-size products shortly.  We have two Bearded Collies and plan to add a couple more, so your tools are fabulous!  And tonight we are ordering a Mark V triangle slicker, having used another Beardie couple's Mark V on one of their dogs and being highly impressed.  We are so impressed.  I'd say your tools will cut 75% off our grooming time.  Thanks for being out there!  If the vendor had not let us take a brush to a Beardie and test it, I would not believe how effective your brushes are.  And another Beardie friend was adding to her set of Christensen brushes and swore by your products.  People who don't have long-haired, double-coated dogs could never understand Beardie peoples' excitement at finding tools that work so well and save so much time.   Rod & Laura Brooker - Tampa FL. 

Hi Chris, about a month ago I stumbled upon your website by accident (it was a good accident) and was very impressed by how well your products read that I had to order some (Ice on Ice, Show Off, Day to Day Shampoo, Fusion Brush, Boar Brush, Buttercombs, the Zone and Termite Shears).  My sheltie of almost 17 years passed on in February of this year and I now have a sheltie pup that is 9 months old.  Billy did have and Chance will have a gorgeous coat of hair and I am so very pleased to have found such a good selection of grooming products and tools.  There is absolutely no comparison between the pet store products and tools and yours.  The brushes, combs and of course the Ice on Ice are the greatest!!!  The brushes and combs literally glide right through a fairly course coat of hair.  The Ice on Ice is going to be great as Chance gets his adult coat.  It allows for easy brushing without changing the texture of the sheltie hair.  It is everything you said it is!!  For the sheltie, it is great to work into the areas behind the ears, armpits and around the collar to prevent matting.  For the little bit of trimming of the feet and ears to keep the sheltie tidy, the termite and zone are wonderful.  I can't believe how smoothly and easily they cut - so unlike most shears that saw the hair.  Although I have only one dog, I will certainly pass on your name to anyone looking for excellent grooming products and tools.  Lastly, I want to mention how great your customer service department is.  Being a new customer and not familiar with the products - being I had only the information I read on the website, of course I had some questions.  When I was ready to order, the customer service person that I spoke with had all the time and knowledge needed so that I was sure I was getting the right products and tools for my sheltie.  Again, my compliments for a great line and for having such good customer service available for your customers.  It was like talking to a friend over the phone while placing the order.  I usually don't take time to write about products, but I am just so pleased to have found the Chris Christensen line that I had to let you know.  All the best, Lisa Sluzewski
