Default Shaving coat to the skin in summer because of ticks, fleas, etc

Does anyone here shave their yorkies as close as possible so to get to the god awful little fleas or ticks that your fur baby keeps biting but you can't see them because the hair it is too thick?

Well I did it this year just with a good mens Phillips beard trimmer and I was able to get a really short cut just like a summer cut at the groomers. And this time it was great because when all the hair is gone, I was able to see the nasty little critters like look like specs of black pepper.

And they are strong has hell and super smart as they go under any hair to escape and you can't just pinched them they won't die. What I found out was to squeeze and hold on them and put them in a bowl of water and they just sink to the bottom and die.

I feel great sense of accomplishment as my benny skin has blisters and pimples from their bites it's quire damaging but they're all gone. I was able to kill about 8 of them.
