I used to use my clippers on my boys' ears (not the cordless wahl), but then once I cut Tank's ear! I felt terrible! It actually grew back, and you have to search for where I cut a tiny chunk out, but it was enough to make me never use anything but scissors on my boys' faces and feet. Clippers are a wonderful idea though! I save so much money grooming them myself! Hey, we also save money cutting my husbands hair at home too
He has a mowhawk (short - think Chuck Liddell), so it's simple to do at home.
