Wet clipping

[libivillagomez]

Hi, I've been grooming for a couple of years now and only recently have seen more people saying they are 'wet clipping'. I can't say I've ever heard of this and obviously have never done it! How is this done and why is it done? Doesn't it ruin clippers and blades?

Just very curious, and if its a technique that can help me in my grooming, I am certainly willing to learn :-)

Thanks!

Wet clipping is the greatest thing since clipping.

My new bravura was delivered right in the middle of a wet shave. I tore that box open and it was beautiful.

I tried wet shaving for the first time today, after looking at these sites that you osted, I thought I need to try this. The best thing ever I was so much easier than I thought it would be and it cut my time in half. Great thing

that will be $5000 for the education you just received! JUST KIDDING! LOL Honestly I am so glad it worked for you! It is a timesaving tool for sure.

Wet clipping is awesome!! I don't do it real often, but my blades and clippers are just fine!

Can I just take a moment and thank you parti? Your blog was the first time I had ever heard of wet clipping. After reading it my arms and hands have not been sore from dematting like they used to be. You rock!!

I am yet to try this, but I thank you for the post as well, parti. I have printed it out and will try it first chance I get. We can't do this in petsomething, but am going mobile soon and can't wait! :-)

I work at petsomething, and I do it a lot lol. Especially when were are super busy.. on a full day we have 8 groomers and 1-2 bathers.. 2 tubs.. 3 if you bathe one on the floor.. 1 dryer at each of the two tubs and one at the bathers station .. which leaves only one other drying table which doesnt cut it if everyone is using a station. You better believe i grab a towel and slap my dog on a table and start clipping away. By the time Im done with the body a table is available and my dog is about 90% dry and I have saved time!

Parti, the video convinced me to try my first wet shave tonight. I dont usually have many that are that badly matted since becoming HB, but tonight I had my OAY Sibe ( fuzzy tx sibe, yuck!) I kept looking at all that matted mess that was going to be floating all over my salon and thought I am going to wet shave this dog. Wow!!!! In 1 hour I had her scrubbed clean and clipped down with a 5f. Clean up was a breeze! All I have left to do in the am (she is boarding) is finish work. I figure it saved me atleast 45 min clipping time and and hour of clean up time ( that dang floating hair).
So many thanks to you Parti, you ROCK!!!!!
Now I am going to try it on a OAY cocker tomorrow.
