WAYS TO USE STRIPPER TOOLS 1.) Stripping, Dematting Coat/Undercoat: The undercoat is the soft, downy fur that lies underneath the top coat. Our stripper tools are great for bulk stripping of the undercoat during peak shedding seasons. They can also be used as needed to clear out mats, tangles and any loose, dead hair. An undercoat that is able to "breathe" is better able to act as a dog's natural insulation. 2.) Stripping Guard Hairs: Guard hairs are the coarse outer hairs on a dog's coat. On certain wire-haired breeds like terriers, the wiry coat has a cycle where it starts growing and then sheds as it reaches its maximum length. Stripping these guard hairs in conjunction with this shedding cycle makes room for the new coat to grow. Removing loose, dead hairs that are dull and faded allows new guard hairs to come in, showing the dog's true rich color and creating a more uniform, water-resistant coat. 3.) Carding: For some Sporting breeds like cocker spaniels, Springer spaniels and golden retrievers, the outer coat can be so soft that it starts to curl up on the dog's back. You can run our stripper tool across the curly section to cut the curls and give the dog a smoother, more finished top line. Used by Professional Groomers, trainers, kennels, Handlers, etc. WHICH SIZE? MANY BREEDS REQUIRE 2 or more strippers-One to remove or thin undercoat and then a second to "finish" coat and give it a smooth appearance. A general rule of thumb is use coarser tooth(less blades)for prep work and thinning out undercoat, finer tooth(more blades) for finishing. Two Strippers are commonly used to properly strip coat, especially on matted dogs- Lower number (Coarse) blade tools ( 8, 10, 12) are commonly used for prep work, thinning of coat and then coat is ?finished off? with a 16 or 20 (Fine) blade tool. For example, if you use a 8 or 10 blade first you would finish with a 16 blade tool. Use a 10 or 12 then finish with a 20. #8 Blade Stripper is best for prep work on VERY Coarse, thick coats such as Akita, Shiba Inu, Alaskan Malamute, Norwegian Elkhound, Siberian Husky, Belgian Tervuren, and similar breeds. #10-Blade Stripper is perfect for prep work and coarse coats such as Collie, German Shepherd, Terriers, Wolfhound, Samoyed, Chow-Chow, Sheepdogs, Borzoi, and similar breeds. #12 Blade Stripper is ideal for heavy or double coats such as Golden Retriever, Poodle, Basset Hound, Schnauzer, Briard, Dachshund, Cats, Pomeranians, Lhasas, Westies and Poodles and similar breeds. Fine Styles (#20 Blade) 20 Blade size is mostly for finishing the coat when a more coarse blade (8, 10 or 12 blade tool) was used previously to prep coat, remove dead hair coat, remove mats and tangles on most any dog breed coat. #20 Blade Stripper is also ideal for stripping, finishing and carding thick or heavy, fine coats such as Cockers, Spaniels, Setter and Afghans, Collie, Afghan Hound, Spaniels (upper body), Schipperke, Sheltie, Kuvasz, and similar breeds.
