Thank u, Miss Daisy!!! 🙏🙏🙏
New to your channel. Everything you could possibly want to know about grooming is answered, very detailed. Thank you. I do have one question though. I'm just learning on how to groom my female havanese and I am using a Wahl Arco clipper which has a 5 in 1 blade which didn't come with instructions, what are the different numbers used for?
Hi Rick, glad to be of service, and what a great question! The 5-in-1 adjustable blades usually come in the following lengths, starting Left to Right, if looking directly at the switch to change lengths: #9, #10, #15, #30, #40. The longest of the five options is the #9 at 2mm (you can look at the blade move as you adjust, and the #9 will be the farthest placement between the front and back blade). So, every length on this blade is SHORT! The #40 is considered a "surgical shave" and is only used in very extreme circumstances. Out of the five options, Groomers usually mainly use two of them: #10 (for sanitary clips, clipping matting behind ears, beginner paw-pad shaves), and #30 (for advanced paw-pad shaves, and as the de-facto blade to use under guide combs.) The guide-combs are where you do your puppy cuts, but with a coated dog like a Hav, sometimes you may need to have more juice (like a corded clipper), depending on the thickness of her coat. But I am absolutely able to get thru some of my Hav clients with my detail clipper and a guard comb. Hope that helps, and thanks so much for joining the channel! 👍💕
@@GinasGrooming thank you for replying to my question, it was a huge help in understanding the blade numbering.
Good Morning, from beautiful Belize Central America
What type of oil or delivery system are you using in the plastic needle that you show to lube the blade?
Really enjoying you Instructions!
Hi Ed from beautiful Belize! Welcome to the channel! 😊 In the video, I am using scissor oil from a company called 4420, which is difficult to find. However, there are scissor oils available out there with the needle nozzle (which comes in very handy for oiling your clipper blades!), such as: amzn.to/3dvGzPw. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! 🙏
Great instructional video. But question: I don't really know why you need different blade sizes if guides are what determine coat length. Why do you ever need to use different blades. For example: Is there any difference using a 3/8" guide with a 10 blade as opposed to using with a 30 blade? Thanks for any info (and apologies if already asked and answered!)
Hi Jonathan! That truly is a great question! Most groomers will use a #30 under their guide-combs 99.999% of the time. The difference between using a #10 or #30 under a guide-comb is not very noticeable, but the better answer is that a #30 under is more efficient and tighter. In terms of the shorter guide-combs vs. blades, the key element is that if you have a matted coat (I mean, all the way to the skin), you'll need a blade, not a guide-comb. The comb will catch and not get under the matting like a #7F or #10 blade is designed to do. Guide-combs are for longer cuts, blades are for shaving. Hope that helps and thanks for your insightful question! 🙏
Question for you ! I've recently been looking into proper blade care and how to make sure that your blades are tensioned correctly. I found out that the cutter is supposed to slip pretty freely when you're moving it to clean the blade. Some blades come with a little rubber piece underneath the tension spring, are you supposed to leave that on or take it off out of the packaging? Probably a silly question but I haven't seen any clear answers anywhere and I want to make sure I'm handling them properly!
What a great question! First, the little rubber/plastic piece under the spring is done intentionally to reduce metal on metal friction, so leave it on! And yes, back plate should be able to be pushed side to side with some tension, but without strain. If it gets tight, I work on oiling it, rather than adjusting tension (I leave that to my sharpener.) We just released another video on blade maintenance if that may help. Thanks so much for your insightful question, and thanks for watching! 😍 ua-cam.com/video/DWtVFBX5HTI/v-deo.html
Thanks so much Gina! I have a question: how do you get blades sharpened?
Hi Emily, great question, and great timing! I just sent some of my dull blades to my sharpener who will send them back to me sharp in a couple of days. The easiest way to find a sharpener in your area is to call a local grooming salon and ask who they use for sharpening. If that doesn't work, and you still can't find someone local through Google, you can arrange to ship the blades to a sharpening service. An example of one in the US is Precision Sharp ( www.precisionsharp.com/precision-sharp-services/ ). Just follow the instructions, mail them your blades, and you should get them back like new. Hope this helps, and thanks so much for joining the channel! 🙏
Coolants don't contain enough oil to adequately lubricate blades. Apply blade oil after using coolants.
That is true! A reasonable schedule is to oil the blades at the end of the day, while spraying coolant throughout the day to maintain the blades. Thanks for the input!
Hii
Hi Iyappan! Hope you are enjoying the channel! 😊
