Oh my!!! I really didn't want to read about this because I'm going to try and groom Reuger!!!
I'm afraid that I'm going to mess up and make him look really awful. I can just see me doing the trimming to keep everything even just like you did. Maybe in a week or so you'll see my post on my grooming!!! The good news is that it will grow back so don't quit grooming just because of this experience. I figure that everyone has to start somewhere (also, I have a t-shirt ready just in case!!!)
