Charlie is sooo cute! I love his eyes.

Poor little guy, have you asked the vet about his allergies/itching? You should definitely have him checked on by your vet, and while you're there ask for references to good groomers. You need to make sure he's going to a reputable groomer, or it could make things worse! Gonzo has fur similar to Charlie's, and he gets clipped during the summer. He really seems to enjoy it and it helps with the heat and shedding. He gets his whole body shaved down to about 1/2", except for his head and tail... they occasionally give him a mohawk, too! ^^
