Title: Grooming head and face
Post by: silke on September 17, 2007, 08:54:32 AM

I'm struggling to groom Charlie's head and face. ::) I use the Coat King, thinning scissors and straight scissors on him, but can't seem to get to grips with his head and face.  :shades: The fur on top of his head gets really long and curly and he's got sideburns. :lol:

Any advice would be welcome!! :blink:

Would he allow you to strip the top of his head?

Yes, but I'm not quite sure how to do it. :embarassed: I've put on rubber gloves and tried 'pulling' out little bits of fur. ph34r I'm worried about hurting him, though, and it doesn't seem to be working properly - I think I'm doing it wrong. :shades:

Is there someone near to you who could show you how to handstrip???  If it's done correctly it will not hurt him as you are only pulling out the dead hair.
