Shaving sheep with what

Don't you shave the sheep with electrical razors if not is there a razor that is long with a handle that was used or is being used ? Where are they purchased?

I use a Heiniger motorized handpiece with a sheep shearing head, and various combs. Almost always Heiniger Jet cutters though. I also have a Sunbeam handpeice cable driven off a 1/3 hp motor. Same combs and cutters. You can buy hand shears... I have a few rusting away in the barn some where.
