Top Tip for all Blades
Check your blades are cool throughout clipping by testing them on the back of your hand. If they are getting a little warm, remove them from the clipper and give them a quick brush over before replacing them and run a line of clipper oil along the teeth of the blade. Oil every 3-5 minutes or apply Andis cool care spray.
Lay the blade flat against the body rather than at an angle. You will need very little pressure and let the clipper do the work rather than pushing it through the coat.
And most importantly – enjoy the time spent with your pet! Grooming provides a valuable opportunity to bond with your animal friend and strengthen the relationship between you.
