I only use a 10 between the eyes, a 40 with a wiggly dog is a disaster waiting to happen. I'll use a 15 on the pads. I can get closer with a 15 then a girl I work with who uses a 30. I don't think I'd ever use a 40 except under a snap on comb and even then if my 30 or 9 is busted.
@eHow.... The proper pronunciation is "Shih Tzu." As in Sheed Zoo and not Shit zoos... There is no "s" sound at the end ever. Shih Tzu is singular and plural .... It is "Shih Tzu" if your are speaking of one or more Shih Tzu.
@xisstats I just don't think it's a good idea to tell ppl who want to groom there pets at home to use a 40. There less likely to razor burn there pets if they just stick to a 10 :).. As a professional I have no problems with using a 40 but this video is directed for pet owners..
Hey um, i got a female Shih Tzu yesterday and shes 9 weeks old. I've noticed that when she walks, she dosn't walk as straight as i seen other dogs walk. She walks a bit side ways and then she shifts position. I was wondering if thats normal because this is my first pet ever, and yeah im kinda paranoid lol. Thanx!
Thanks for giving the blade # for between the eyes. I groom mine myself and always attempt in between the eyes with a blunt scissors, but I am always afraid they will jerk and get poked.
Recently I've been getting a lot of people coming to me with there Shih Tzus that are completely matted and bad coat condition. One time it took me 5 hours to groom one dog that was so matted and smelly it looked like he had never been groomed or bathed in his life! I made him look fabulous of course :)

It wouldn't hurt any to use a CLEAN dog to do your demo on.

@Bulletwings21 Uhh, I use a 40 for pads all time, not so much for the face, but when it comes to a flat faced dog, I'll use a 40 on the face.

The correct pronunciation is Shee-zoo. Not Shit-zoo.

Please check how you pronounce the name of this breed, really the T is silent. Just for the record dogs donot have arm pits- they have 4 legs!
