Professional grooming supplies?

I am starting to get my certificate for dog grooming and am looking to get some supplies. I already have an excellent set of clippers, given to me by my instructor. I also have good nail clippers and files and shampoos. I only have two brushes, one resembles a human paddle brush, and the other is a double coated deshedder. What are some other things I should get for grooming all types of dogs?

Clipper + Guards

Nail clipper and files

Dog shampoo

Flea/tick shampoo

Brushes and combs (explain what types I should get)

Quick Stop

Ear powder, for plucking hair

Grooming table/arm/haunch strap

I'm sure I'm missing a few basics, what do you think? I am not going to get a specialty bathtub, and everything will be done at my house.

    My hang up was scissors or shears. I had a lot of them. Did a lot of scissor work.

    My favorite brush is probably one of the cheapest, Universal Slicker.

    You will need a bunch of blades for the clipper. #10, #9, #8 #7(the most used blade), #5, #4 & combs to fit the #10 blade. I also kept a couple of #30's surgical blade.

    I did country dogs for about 15 yrs.
