Not too much left on the back of the legs and elbows.
Take a little of the furnishings off over the front of the pasterns too, so when they move it doesn't bulge out to make them look like they knuckle over when they stop. Barely enough to emphasize the angulation on the back legs.
Clean sides and flanks.Level the topline as much as possible, working with a blown coat you may not be able to do much carving .(Dog show term "Carving a better dog")
Leave a little extra down the arch of the neck and blend it in over the withers if you have the coat to work with.Dead coat is better gone.
Taper the tail down to a good point but leave plenty at the base, clean it off the bottom of the tail rather than the top. Another good place you can get away with thinning shears .
Strip clean or clip the inside of the thighs and blend in the body coat at the cow licks with the knife or thinning shears..
Very short eyebrows.Do not clean out the stop totally, leave just a trace to make a strait line up the muzzle into the forehead,Clean under the front corners of the eyes.Thin off some with a knife under the eyes down the sides to the cheeks, not too full. Blend it into the cheeks.
Clean off the under jaw back from the fold in the lower lip leaving just the hair on the end of the chin, not back to the corner of the mouth underneath the jaw like a schnauzer (I clip this when I do the under side of the neck against the grain, but be carefull to go with the grain on the rest with an 8 and stop before running into the neck coat coming the other way in the cow licks or it will be bare and hard to blend.Also don't use the clippers up onto the checks, stay under them.)
That's all I can think of, most of which you knew I'm sure. If any of my
terms or discriptions are unclear let me know.Hope this helps.
