I too have been reading lots how great wet shaving works...I tried it today for the first time on a horribly matted dog. I washed and left the conditioner on, towl dried and then went through with a 5. Probably would have had to use a 10 dry. I read that to preserve the blades afterwards simply blow them dry and then oil them...many groomers swear by it, it did seem to work easily. I took off the pelt, then back in the tub to rinse...I think they're right, it does really work well!

Must be nice, but I'm a fairly new business in a small rural area, in competetion with a twenty plus year kennel/grooming shop. Most dog owners here are not accustomed to having their dogs groomed at all. Someday I hope to be booked enough with regulars to not have to deal with the dregs, but not yet. Until then, I look at it as an opportunity to not only provide some relief for the matted dogs, but also as a chance to educate owners as many of them don't understand all that it takes to keep a dog healthy.
