Clipping wet and meths

[Dreckly]

I saw a FB post recently on clipping where people were talking about wet clipping and also using meths to cool down blades is what it seemed like. I wasn't able to post on the thread so could not get clarification. Can anyone enlighten me please?

I always avoid clipping anything wet as it destroys the blades

Can’t imagine it would feel that great for the horse either?!

The blades struggle even on a damp coat so can't see how they can cut wet hair, if blades get too hot there is normally a reason usually the tension is not right, I personally am not a fan of dipping them in some sort of liquid, I would just change them and put a new set on maybe it's old fashioned but that's what I know.

I do more dogs than horses and I was always told to avoid clipping wet fur as it destroys blades with dogs, but can’t imagine it would feel great for anything

I agree with all your above comments which is why I found the post so strange

Can't help with clipping wet, but i always run the clippers through meths. Instant cooling and then re-oil and away you go. At the end of a clip I loosen tension and run through meths to help remove loose hair and clean.

Me too, I do this, it cools the blades down & any hairs caught between the blades also come straight out.

That's interesting thank you
