Hi Xtine,
I do all my own grooming. I normally don't shave mine completely down. I have done one boy in a semi-shave in the past. I like to grow the coats. But I do alot of trimming at the bottom of the coats on most of mine. I have two sets of state of the art clippers but rarely even take them out. I use a $17 mini wahl trimmer more than I ever do my big commercial clippers. I am more paticular about shears than clippers. Gotta have good shears. I went to school for cosmetology when I was much younger and I really learned my shears back then. I have to have three different kinds for different things, but most people would do just fine with one good pair along with a small touch-up shear that is blunt tipped. Now if you plan to do alot of body clipping, invest in one good set of clippers. I use the mini wahl for paw pads as well. I really couldn't live without those along with my shears. |
