My husband & I took a shearing class  at Jay Ward's place in New York.  Matt Best was the instructor.  We learned a lot, not least of which was that proper restraint makes a world of difference!
 
Another thing we have learned is that proper blade sharpening also makes a world of difference!  We happened upon a local sharpener last year and now we have no more problems with our combs and cutters. His name is Keith Ellefson, and his contact information is: eesharpener@centurytel.net.  (334) 774-6869
 
Here is Charles shearing two of Judy Georgiades' alpacas.
