People on dog show almost always shave cresteds before show, most of the cresteds today, especially those with long flowing hair on head , feet and tail, get long hair on the rest of the body, just not as thick, so it is shaved !
With a razor often (i've seen people shave cresteds with normal lady razors on DOG SHOWS ! that shocks me)
I shaved the dog I'm fostering once but I used a clipper and I didn't use a short blade, and I didn't let it touch the skin even, I took the hairs where they were the most and held them together, and shaved then with the clippers), so he didn't get hurt or anything, I just couldn't stand watching those hairs here and there on his body :P He's much cuter now.
