Trimming lawn edges.

My OH doesn't want me to get a pair of lawn edging shears (? ) so what would you recommend I get? The lawn is edged with a re-cycled rubber edging from Greenfingers so there is a hard edge I can cut though the depth between it and the border soil isn't that deep.

Theres a roller with blades on that makes a nice job it has a long handle as well,check handle the gardeners tried and tested way ,left hand on top of handle right hand over left chin on hands and stand for a few minutes if its comfortable it's a good tool    jezza

Hello there use to be a lawn edger that fitted on to the side of cylinder mowers ,like a little knife reaper ,it was made by Qualcast there was a flip up plate on the side case to fit it to the end of the cutter    jezza

I don't think that a Wolf lawn edger can be beaten. chunky rubber roller with cutting scissors on the side.

Wolf tools are usually very good (though not cheap, particularly if you don't also have the separate handle), but I just couldn't get on with this one. A friend has it, and does nice edges with it, but I couldn't get it to work. Probably user error 

For edging I use a strimmer.  Some strimmers have a guide attached for maintaining a straight line, but I just  maintain a straight line "by eyeball".  It seems to work, I have had no complaints.

The clippings from edging are raked or blown onto the lawn and are mulched into the lawn when I cut the grass afterward.

I have something similar to the Wolf edger (type with the wheel), also something similar to the half moon style edger.  They're fine if you only have short distances to edge. My strimmer takes only a tenth the time though. I have roughly 300+ feet of walks, driveway, and garden edging to take care of every 3 weeks or so.

The recycled rubber edging is really good but it obviously can't prevent the lawn grass growing horizontally over it, so hand-operated edging shears seem the best option to me. I'll get my little gardener on my side and together we'll persuade my OH that it's the best option.
