Thumbs up 1st time shaving one of ours :)
Here's pretty girl 2ish wks after her first (and mine!) shave.
She looks so lovely, no clue why I waited so long!!
Pardon the red dust on her, she likes to lay in the dirt

I use cheap people clippers on mine. They cost $12 six years ago and still work. I didn't even use the plastic guard on Cookie and she looks pretty good with a super short trim despite not really liking being locked in the stand. Lol

They look good, Great job!
I'm terrible at shaving & they always seem to look bad when I'm done but in a couple weeks they always look so nice it's like the areas I cut too short catch up to the others.

Yes I brought it down to the skin. It looked kinda patchy at first, felt bad
But it turned out nice, I knew it would *eventually* lol

Yeah, weird how that works, huh? I think it's cuz the skin doesn't show thru any more.
