Wet Shaving is exactly what it sounds like, you shave a dog while it is wet. In my case, I have found that the blade glides through the coat if I shave the dog after the first wash, with the shampoo still on the dog. I have tried both ways, with the shampoo rinsed off, and with the shampoo still on, I prefer the shampoo still on the dog. The clipper glides through the soapy, wet, matted hair very easily, the blade stays nice and cool, there is no fighting to cut through dirty hair. Wet Shaving is great for once-a-year clip downs, matted dogs, pelted dogs, really dirty dogs. I keep the dogs in the tub, my clipper is plugged into a grounded outlet, outside of the bathing room, my cord is also kept outside of the tub. The hair will not always come off in one piece on every dog.
