How gutsy is the Heiniger Opal Horse, really? 👀
We decided to give it the ultimate test: a thick coat paired with a Covercoat blade.
If you’ve never used one before, Covercoat blades leave around 4.8mm of hair behind to create a more natural, summer-coat finish. Because they’re wider and have to work through all that thick hair while leaving a longer finish, they put much more resistance on the clipper than a standard blade. If the machine doesn’t have enough power behind it, it can quickly start to struggle.
We think it did pretty well… 😍
