We do a most of the grooming for our doodle.
In regards to brushes/combs, you'll need a paddle brush, a metal comb, a de-matting rake, and a slicker brush to take care of most tasks. You won't really need a shedding rake.
If you're interested in cutting your guys hair, I would suggest getting a set of electric clippers and get a larger blade, like a size 4FC to start out. I don't suggest trying to use the plastic guards because their hair gets caught in them a bunch and it's a mess. We use a pair of scissors and a plastic comb to trim up his face, feet, and crotch area. I also suggest a set of thinning shears to even things out after the regular scissors or clippers. Overall, don't be afraid to just go for it. The hair grows back and you can't really screw it up too bad. A few times our guy looked like a junkyard dog after we gave him a trim, but we managed to clean it up after a few tries. The clippers may seem expensive, but a good professional grooming around us is $80, so they've paid for themselves at this point.
Baths are pretty straightforward. If he's not too afraid of a blow dryer, use one to speed up the drying process.
