Liscop A56 Replacement Clipper Comb for Horses
Description
Liscop A56 Comb Only - Replacement Clipper Comb
The Liscop A56 Comb Only is a replacement lower comb blade for compatible Liscop horse clippers, supplied on its own without a cutter. It is best for riders, grooms and professional clippers who already own a matching cutter and want to refresh the comb half of the blade set part-way through the clipping season.
Clipper blades cut as a pair - the fixed comb sits against the coat while the cutter moves across it. Because the two halves wear at different rates, buying the comb alone is often the more economical route when your cutter is still cutting well.
Key Features

- Spare for the clipping kit: keep one on the yard alongside clipper oil and a blade brush

FAQ
Does this include the cutter?
No. This listing is for the Liscop A56 comb only. The cutter is not included, so you will need a matching cutter already fitted to your clipper.
What is the difference between a comb and a cutter?
The comb is the fixed lower blade that rests against the horse's coat, while the cutter is the smaller moving blade that slides across it. Both are needed for the clipper to cut.
Will the A56 comb fit my clipper?
It is made to the Liscop A56 pattern. Check your clipper and existing blades are A56 compatible before fitting, as clipper blade patterns are not interchangeable between all machines.
How often should blades be replaced or sharpened?
This depends on how much clipping you do and how clean the coats are. Have blades professionally sharpened once they stop cutting cleanly, and replace them when sharpening is no longer effective.
How do I look after the comb?
Brush hair from the blades and apply clipper oil regularly during use, let the blades cool if they get warm, then wipe clean, dry and store lightly oiled in a dry place.
Can I clip a wet or muddy coat?
No. Always clip a clean, dry coat. Mud, grease and damp hair blunt blades rapidly and make the clip uneven and uncomfortable for the horse.
