Main edge styles for groomers

• A Bevel edge is suited for more everyday work. 
• The Convex edge is more for finishing. Note lower quality shears will not work well with a convexed edge.

Honing vs Sharpening

• Sharpening - restores a dull or damaged edge by removing metal.
• Honing - maintains and straighten the edge.
