"Hi, I'm Mara Keith-Hunter for Expert Village. Today I would be talking about how to clip a horse. The next thing we are going to talk about is how to store your clippers blades. It is important that you take good care of your clippers and your blades so they don't rust and loose their edge, their sharpness. So when you take the clippers off which you do by just pressing down on this lever here and pressing up on it and popping off.

So we are going to put that down for now. As far as the blades go, I recommend storing them in a blade wash and by storing them in a blade wash, you are going to keep them from rusting.
