Bought some fur today…even worked with it! But no, not for a costume, but a book cover instead! Hey, I thought a fun-fur cover would be appropriate. :) Learned from the clerk there that the best way to cut fur is to cut a small notch into the fur, then TEAR it from that point on. Less fuzzies on the cut that way and it won't unravel like a scissor cut will. I tried it, and well, it works! Best on larger pieces that are straight.

Cutting fur: I usually just use a razor and cut from the back of the fur. No particular reason; I just never got very good at the notch-and-rip technique…
