[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 127585, member: 968"] Joe, really depends on WHAT KIND of clipping she wants to do. We use the three different kinds. We use the Sheepmaster 3" 20 toothcomb head to body shear (buzz bald), we use the flatheads (the old Oster steward with the 2.5" head) to clip the face 5-7 days prior to show day, and we use the Andis with the wider blocking head to do all our normal show blocking. You can use what you have, but I'd be afraid to clip faces with a sheephead - way too dangerous. And they are SOOOO heavy. The Andis 2-speed (round or square) can be purchased with two different size heads (about $150) - one is considered a flat head (for faces) & one the sheephead type (for blocking). I would recommend getting both heads & the little leather holder for the Andis - to protect them when not in use. You would be surprised how easily they can get bumped & break some teeth. Clifflem is correct. If you plan on doing any "gluing" at the show, the Andis do not cut the glued hair very well. I generally glue tailheads & can get by with them, but they will get stuck up easily. I really wouldn't want to tackle body clipping with Andis. Way too small. [/QUOTE]
