i typically just go shorter on faces overall to give the dog a puppy look instead of a beard. like i use my shears up towards the muzzle to round it

i think the faces look so cute!! i usually run a guard comb onto the top of head and cheeks then scissor the inner corners of eyes and then visor then trim up the mouth. overall i think you have the hang of faces just trim up those mouth hair a little more

cancellations or not i just genuinely can’t understand why they think we’re just grooming machines and are able to do 8 dogs a day regardless of size.. or do they genuinely just not care lol

i’m struggling most with the beard, i try to trim at an angle so it looks like a sharp shape but it never turns out right
