First Clipping of Chloe By Myself :)

[Melissa]

I finally got to use my clippers for the first time. I'd have to say I didn't do too badly for my first time cutting Chloe's fur.  She is SO good on the table....such a model student LOL   

I need practice on her face though, not sure if I care for it...may still trim it a little.  Any tips and tricks you can share for scissoring her face?  I like to keep furnishings and her beard and ears a little longer, but am still going for more of a cleaner cut I guess.

Before and after pictures attached.
