Your basic grooming tools are these. 1. Wahl Platinum Arco SE Cordless Clipper Kit also known as the "Moser". This clipper is around $120.00. This is what I use. It has an adjustable blade, so you don't need to buy additional clippers. This you will use to trim their Face, Neck, Ears, Feet, and sanitary areas. The Moser is awesome because it's lightweight, quiet, Cordless and really easy to negotiate around little faces. 2. You will need a set of Straight and Curved Scissors. I recommend getting these from Frank Rowe and Son. He is located in PA, and his scissors are the best bar none. Also, At Franks you can get your "Millers Forge" 46 Tooth Thinning Shears. These are used to thin backs and Topknots. Most of the stuff listed below is for links to Petedge. Dog.com might have the same things.
