Factors such as coat texture and lay of coat will be things you also have to keep in mind as your select the most appropriate blade. Thankfully, the selection process is quite simple. Blades are numbered to indicate what length of hair they will leave. For example, a #10 blade will leave a hair length of 1\/16&#8243;.<\/p>\n<p>The higher the blade number, the shorter the cut will be. So you should be able to tell that a #15 blade will provide a shorter cut than a #5. Generally manufacturers will indicate the precise length a blade creates in the specifications for the product. Dogs come in a variety of different coat types and textures \u2013 which means that a groomer will have to be well-equipped with a selection of blade sizes.<\/p>\n<p>Most blade sizes above the #40 range are used by veterinarians for surgical prep and are rarely used by professional dog groomers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;1072&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221;]<div class=\"nectar-fancy-ul\" data-list-icon=\"fa fa-check\" data-animation=\"true\" data-animation-delay=\"0\" data-color=\"accent-color\" data-spacing=\"default\" data-alignment=\"left\"> \n<h3>Top Blades for New Dog Groomers<\/h3>\n<p>Choosing a blade number will depend on what coat length you aim to achieve \u2013 which will also depend on what dog breed you will be working on.

Therefore, having your clipping blades sharpened should be a part of your regular blade maintenance. However, this is NOT something that you should attempt to do on your own.<\/p>\n<p>For your own safety AND to keep the integrity of the blade you should leave the sharpening to a professional. Professional knife sharpers may be an option if you can\u2019t find anyone who specializes in clipper blades.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221;]<div class=\"nectar-fancy-ul\" data-list-icon=\"fa fa-check\" data-animation=\"true\" data-animation-delay=\"0\" data-color=\"accent-color\" data-spacing=\"default\" data-alignment=\"left\"> \n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blade_Maintenance\"><\/span>Blade Maintenance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Regular maintenance will extend the longevity of your clipping blades.

Apply a few drops of oil onto the two cutting guides of your clipper and on each side of the clipping blade. Make sure the clipper is running to ensure that oil is adequately distributed across cutting surfaces. Use a dry clipper brush (or a toothbrush) to brush off any excess oil.<\/p>\n<p>Also make sure to use an oil that is specifically formulated for clipper blades. It should be easy to find; most<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/your-dog-grooming-career\/discounts-for-grooming-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> companies that sell dog grooming equipment<\/a> will also sell an appropriate oil.<\/p>\n<h3>Cleaning the Blade<\/h3>\n<p>How often you clean your blades will depend on frequency of use. A blade that is used regularly will need to be cleaned at least once a week. A clipper blade that is visibly dirty should be thoroughly cleaned before being used again.<\/p>\n<p>To clean your clipping blade, submerge the blade end of clippers into a bowl of blade cleaning solution. You\u2019ll need your clippers running. Keep them submerged for 5-8 seconds. Make sure to wipe the clipper blade dry after.<\/p>\n<h3>Using Cooling Spray<\/h3>\n<p>If your blades heats up in the middle of use, you should switch blades. Alternatively, you can apply an aerosol cooling spray to the blade. Spray it onto the blade as it is running. An audible RPM change indicates the clipping blade is working more efficiently. Be sure to wipe the blade clean of coolant if you are working in between canine clients.<\/p>\n<p>Clipper blades may sound complicated, but choosing the rights ones should be a straightforward process. The great thing is that many are designed to optimize the grooming process![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3 align=\"center\">Clippers aren&#8217;t your only tool.
