Whiskers and nails

I've been reading up on whiskers and grooming my cocker when the time comes. What are your thoughts on whiskers? I've read how people are passionately against cutting them and others say it's ok if the dog is for just at home and will never miss them. Does anyone else groom your dog and what do you do about the whiskers?

For nails, I was told by my cockers breeder to not trim her nails, that the concrete will file them down but if I don't, it's like playing with a razor! Not to mention, she can't really be out that much on the sidewalk as our neighborhood is filled with dogs and she hasn't even had her second round of shots just yet (Monday). I couldn't find a reason why I shouldn't and have done so twice already when her nails start to cling to our clothes. Is there a reason I shouldn't?
