alright, so today i decided to try my new trimmer. the attachment SUCKs! the only good i got out of the acutal trimmer was trimming his belly, manparts, and booty. i'm going to take it back and get one made for hair trimming i think. the little attachment couldn't handle his length of hair.
i also thought that maybe i could use the shortest length on his body carefully....nope. i quit after doing his tail (which now looks like a thumb on the end of his body) and one short swoop over his backside.
sigh! so don't buy the $12 conair beard and moustache trimmer unless you need a small trimmer for "sanitary" cut.
thanks to all again for help
