Laube mini micro 2 speed #721 clippers
|
|
| Laube is a very popular clippers with professional groomers. I'm considering the Micro Mini or Mini Lazor for shaving down extremely matted rescue dogs. They're supposed to go through a thick, matted coat in no time and are much lighter than an Oster or Andis.
If you buy the Laube's, let me know how you like them. |
| I email they recommend the micro mine for mt two sheepies because of speed and the weight like you said. In a few weeks I am going to get them. Sami's coat is curlier the Blues and hard to cut? Blue on the other hand is real easy. I'll let you know.

| well I got these clippers they are nice. I find they get warm fast on the blades... do i get another blades and switch when hot or do oil and blade wash???? Or is it because their coat is long. I just let the cool down and gave Sami an run. I never had new clippers before and need to know the right. They are light weight for sure and do cut great and fit all blade brands. |
Having an extra set of blades is recommended so you can have one set cooling while clipping with the other set. Place hot blades on something cool that will draw the heat from the blade, like a piece of metal or tile. I have a brick ledge by my grooming table that works well, too. Always keep the blades clean and well oiled. Don't use stuff like a spray coolant because it's mostly alcohol and contrary to what the manufacturer wants you to believe, is basically worthless as a lubricant. Keeping blades well oiled with clipper oil will actually will keep them cooler. 
H-42 Clean Clippers Blade Wash is great for rescue dogs with nasty coats. It's antibacterial/disinfectant that you dip the blades of a running clipper into. After washing the blades, give them a good coating of oil again. I'm not sure when I'll be getting my Laubes. Either have to burn up my Oster A2's or sell them on eBay.  |

You never want to let the blades go dry. On an OES, that means frequent oiling but it goes a long way in saving your blades. I thoroughly clean my clippers and blades and oil them down after every use. Hair attracts moisture and dirty blades will get rusty fast. |

We have the complete opposite problem with the sheep shears - they have so much lanolin and oils at the skin level that it gums up the shears. Todd keeps a small pail of warm soapy water to clean the blades off as he shears! But storage is the same. In fact he cleans them all, dries and then stores them in a ziplock bag with some oil it it. They are big expensive blades and we don't want them to rust. Also, they only get used once a year. Here is one of the ewes getting sheared:  |
