Well you'd need at least one set of clippers for body clipping and doing heads. Then, some steel Scotch combs and a blower are a must. A plastic fluffing comb is handy as well. Also, a rice root brush is good for training hair. Steel blocking chute if your calves ain't broke too well. Fans are also needed. Show box is a must either homemade or you can buy one from Sullivans.
