Wow.. i use a very limited supply of stuff.

the only stuff i use is ---

-Slicker Brush
-Premium dog shampoo
-Scissors
-Dog nail clippers
-Warm water
-Sink or tub to put him into
-Dirty shirt(to dry him off with) LOL
-Windmer hairdryer(even on hot days i still blowdry him)

-Time

ive been told i do things backwords.. but its always have i groomed my dog. i first trim his nails. then i brush him,, and if i feel hes in need of haircut he gets a quick furcut.. and then he gets the bath.. then i dry him off the best i can with a shirt or towl,, and quickly brush him while hes still wet and then blow dry and brush at the sametime. then i finish up on his furcut.
