Oh no feel really guilty now

Managed to nick Blue with the clippers last night on his chest

i usually clip him while he's eating a haynet but am obviously going to have someone to hold his head while i do his front as he nudged my hand while i was doing his chest resulting in me nicking him with the clippers although am not sure how they were not exactly very sharp! Oh dear

Cruel, cruel thing, lol!! I find the clippers are more likely to nick if they are blunt as they catch on the skin. I clipped my boys face out fully last year and plaited his forelock out of the way but as I ran up his forehead with the clippers, he brought his head down rather abruptly and i took half his forelock off, or rather, my OH did!! Luckily he had enough mane to cover it up but you could see it clearly when the wind blew, poor boy! I have done a half face since then.
