I wonder if he has ever cut an ear ? |
I know right? Those scissors are super sharp. I've cut my hands & fingers so many x's when I 1st started grooming...had bandages all over loll. TGoodness I never cut my models & clients, I used my fingers as a guide & cut myself!

I also bought him a cheap battery operated tooth brush to play with before I trimmed them, and he loved it. So I think the noise did not scare him as much because the toothbrush noise was quite similar. It probably felt good on his gums too because he is teething very bad right now :-)
This pic was from before I took more hair off the back of the left ear :-) |
He looks so adorable! Good job.

Yes, I do. I go up the edges-with the growth of the hair. I don't think the ears would ever get caught, but especially not the way I do it-I don't "push" the shaver against the ear when I do the edges. The shaver I use is a trimmer. |
OK, then it must be like the peanut trimmer, I've seen vids where they run it along the edge, but it still makes me nervous loll! Your girls are so darling & their ears are very nicely trimmed!
