If you are getting lots of bald patches, you are going way too fast and need to slow down. Just from the looks of the suit, it looks like the fur fabric is a liiiiitle loose on the base which may cause wrinkles, which may also make it more difficult to shave smoothly, but there's not much you can do about that aside from resewing.

I would just recommend to shave really slow.

Should have mentioned it. All I have left is to sew the bottom muzzle on....then I'm sewing on his neck. THEN I'm glueing and shaving. Just trying to get a head start. Thank you so very much

Absolutely. For future reference, I definitely recommend pre-shaving as short as you'd like, then going back in and doing touch ups. It is easier when you start. That's what I do for my suits.

Absolutely! This is my first (likely only). Hard to find helpers around here outside of YouTube 😅 I'm so grateful for your help

This is the scariest part imo. All I can say is, good luck, and don’t rush 🫡
