"At many points across this website, we emphasize brushes over blades, brushing and combing over clipping, shaving, and even shedding blades like Furminators. There are many reasons why we do. The short answer is that clippings are very problematic. Here is why:
The Whole Hair Shaft Is Best
First and foremost, because they are not the entire hair shaft, it’s a challenge to get clippings to “grab” onto other fibers. The part of a dog’s hair shaft that catches onto the other parts is just above the follicle, which is why mats form close to the skin. Sometimes, we can blend clippings with another fiber to spin them; it really depends on the individual dog’s hair."
