Whitman's Sharpening

08/25/2026

Your scissors matter more than you think!

Ralph Whitman has been in the grooming industry for over 32 years and he designed the RW Pro 1 Series Scissors with 3 features most groomers overlook:

1. Certified Steel. No guesswork on quality.
2. CNC ground inner blades. Smooth, even cuts every time.
3. Welded Handles. So they come back to life and alignment after sharpening.

These aren't just scissors. They're tools built by someone who's used them for three decades!

Shoutout to my employee of the month

This 9” comb has earned its keep. I picked it up at RW GroomX from the Whitmans booth and I love it.

Whitman’s Sharpening showed up at the Ann Arbor Kennel Club dog show in Monroe, even when the storms didn’t cooperate. ⛈️

We lost power and got rained out, but before the weather rolled in we met amazing groomers and pet parents… and earned a fresh 5‑star review from the show. ⭐

Grateful for everyone who stopped by the booth and trusted us with their blades and shears, see you at the next show!

Due to extreme weather and loss of power in Monroe and many parts of Michigan we have been unable to continue the show at the Monroe County Fairgrounds this weekend. We hope everyone stays safe and we will see you at the next show.
