Get the How To Guide for Caring for Clippers, Clipper Blades and Attachment Combs
In this guide, we provide all the tools and know-how required to manage clipper blades, clippers, and attachment combs. We cover what to do when tools break down, why new blades may not be cutting as expected, and how to troubleshoot common performance issues. The guide also includes a dedicated chapter on sharpening and maintenance, along with guidance on choosing the right sharpening and servicing provider.
To support this further, we’ve also created an accompanying online course — The Groomer’s Guide to Blade Care. While the guide gives you the knowledge and understanding, the course shows you exactly how to apply it in practice, with step-by-step demonstrations on cleaning, lubricating, and maintaining your blades for optimal performance.
Together, the guide and course provide a complete system to help you confidently manage your grooming tools.
With nearly four decades of experience in the dog and horse grooming industry, Paula Bryan has always been passionate about driving positive change in the field. Paula’s expertise spans from skin and coat care to business development, as well as tool and equipment management.
Paula says:
"The dog grooming industry is rightly focused on breed standards and producing the best possible groom. However, as someone who has been in this industry for many years, I noticed a significant gap in the knowledge and skills required to manage grooming tools.
Many professionals struggle to identify when a clipper blade isn’t working properly, when it needs maintenance, or when it’s time to replace components like the blade drive. There is also often uncertainty around selecting the correct tools for different coat types and breeds.
That’s exactly why we created both this guide and the online course — to give groomers the confidence and practical skills they need to look after their tools properly and improve their results."
