Is anyone interested in not wasting money? well after more experimenting with another fancy brand name Andis clipper which btw is worthless!!! These things are heavy, loud, and just does not cut their hair well at all despite all the rave reviews which I think are from the mfg employees. Maybe I'm just doing wrong, either way I don't like them and found a great alternative.
You know what really works and doesn't cost an arm and leg??? drum roll...
a good men's cordless beard trimmer! like this one I got from amazon for measly $20. It's light, quiet, cordless, easy to maneuver and best of all it actually cuts through the hair like hot knife through butter. And it's even powerful enough for my maltese who's hair is really dense and curly. Plus I can use it not only for the main body, but for hard to get places like the toes, ears, and around face. I always have to learn the hard and expensive way but now I don't fear grooming and don't have to pay $40 and have groomers abuse my dog when I leave them there. And I do 3x better job shampooing than the groomers who cut and shave "after" shampoo which to me is kinda backwards. They're dirty and dusty after a haircut.
