Solid Grooming Kit that actually Works
This FAMILIFE grooming kit was a pleasant surprise. Unlike many other kits that I have tried over the years, this kit seemed well constructed and excelled in many areas. The large and small clippers both were solid in the hand and most importantly had hard ground sharp blades that were perfectly aligned. This led to a clean cut of the nail each time without the smashing/slight tearing sometime experienced with lower quality clippers. The tweezers functioned very well with a sharp blade edge allowing easy selection of a hair and high enough tension steel to actually maintain a grasp of the hair without slippage while pulling. Overall all the cuticle maintenance tools were easy to handle and comfortable in the hand, sharp when they were supposed to be and smooth when appropriate. The only downside that I've experienced is related to the case. While the case was well constructed and looked nice, it did have a slight chemical odor when originally unpacked. This dissipated with time but you wouldn't want to purchase this right before a trip and throw it in your suitcase immediately with your clothes. The second issue related to the case is how the large and small clippers are secured. The shape of the clipper has a flare at the butt end of the clipper which is nice for handling and using the clipper but it does make inserting and removing the clipper from the securing strap more difficult than is probably necessary. Overall I would recommend this grooming kit. It is a little more expensive than some other bargain ones out there but in my mind the quality and likely longevity of the tools is well worth the investment. Read more
