Clipping faces

[ponies4ever]

So as its getting to that time of the year again and mine is shedding summer coat and is getting hairy I have started to think about clipping again. Last year I clipped half her face and the body and over the summer have trimmed hairy ears (not inside) so I know she's fine with clippers round her head. I would love to be able to clip the whole head but I'm unsure as to if its possible without clipping the whiskers? Has anyone managed it and how did it look?

I have done it and left whiskers but mine is half tb so v fine whiskers and long eyelashes to match. I found it a pain in the bum doing round eyes, will stick to half face next time!

It is possible but it is such a faff and a pain! Half head is much easier!

I always do a full face and leave the muzzle on. I just blend the fur around the bottom of the face by being lighter with the clippers.

Have you got any photos of this CrazyMare? And yes to all of the above I am fully prepared to deal with it being annoying I really like clipping! But thanks for the warnings lol

I blend in at the muzzle too, whether I'm doing half head or full head...

I also leave whiskers on and blend. Not a good photo but an idea...

This! I swear it takes me the same time to do a whole face as it does the rest of the clip!
