wondering if anyone has any ideas how to keep my neatly trimmed and sculpted muzzles from getting messy.  The synthetic fur I use is soft and I want to keep the shape.  I would love to use something like hairspray, but I don't think that would work.  Just wondering if anyone has suggestions

Personally, I'd leave that to the owners. It's kind of fun to groom a bear, and with a long faux fur, you can try different looks!  bear_original

I always wonder if my buyers brush or groom they way I do :lol:
Good point, thanks
I remember reading Ted Menten would use styling gel in his bears hair (mohair) to keep their look

I find the best way to keep a Bear's muzzle neat is to teach them to use a napkin after they eat cookies!

I would prefer to style myself after arrival (following photos from the maker)

You can slightly wet the direction you want the fur to go and them tape down with scotch tape and let dry. Carefully peel in the direction you wanted the fur to go once it is dry.  :):)HoltHillbears
