Why is it necessary to regularly sharpen clipping blades?
To ensure the performance of your clipping equipment, a regular sharpening of the blades is essential. Over time and with use, the blades become dull and lose their sharpness, making clipping longer, more tiring, and less precise.
A good sharpening ensures:
- A clean, uniform, and quick cut for a quality result.
- Better comfort for the animal, without irritation or pain.
- A reduction in blade overheating, which preserves the motor and limits replacement costs.
By entrusting your blades and cutting heads to a professional sharpening service like Terwagne, you extend the lifespan of your equipment while ensuring an efficient and animal-friendly clipping.

Maintenance tips for blades and clippers for sheep and other animals
Good sharpening is not enough: the regular maintenance of your clipping equipment is equally essential to ensure lasting performance.
After each clipping, carefully clean your blades and dry them to avoid rust. Then apply a special clipper oil to reduce friction and overheating between the blades and counter-blades.
Also, remember to check the tightness of the screws and the condition of the spring. Brush the blades to remove hair and grease residues before oiling them for storage.
Terwagne offers a wide range of maintenance products to extend the lifespan of your clipper and its accessories: lubricating oils, cleaning sprays, and many other solutions adapted to the needs of breeders.
