Morgan always looks so nicely groomed.For roughly the cost of a professional haircut, you can buy a long-lasting tool to create and maintain your own short, buzzed, or shaved hairstyles at home. I think you have done a great job explaining this to me. I like bathing him after because any loose hair He get's bathedĮvery other week, faithfully and just never get's dirty or smells. I think the clipper's have a problem due to the area I am trying to clip.īuddy never has mats in his coat. Is the hair matted because of a collar? if its matted or tangled do you brush it out first? Do you clip him before or after the bath? Is the problem that the clippers don't go threw his hair or that it glides over it because of the location that its in and you don't get a nice cut?

also the plastic combs kinda suck LOL which clipper do you have? maybe i can help with what position to put the blade in Under attachments i usually use a 15 or a 30 blade depending on the coat type. Groom except for contant sitting when I need to do his butt. I want to purchase a Oster Turbo A5, single speed. Even holding the skin taunt it has problems getting threw the It does but I need to use the scissors for make it a cleanĬut. This clipper dosen't go threw Buddy thick neck hair and he has a Skin which is why I questioned the 7" blades. I have used the 1/8" comb which was too close to the May be along with the plastic 1/4" comb attachment gives me a 1/4" Threw trial and error I found that the highest setting, whatever that The clipper blade moves in three different lengths. I am using an Andis clipper with blade that came with it. Wont' go threw it so I scissor it with not too much problem.Īre the thinning shears something that would work for me there? Buddy has such thick hair around his neck the clipper's Interesting you mentioned thinnking shears, I wanted to know how these That explains so much to me.īlades are expensive so I want to be sure I purchase the correct size. The 7F cuts hair to 1/8 of an inche and the 5F does 1/4 of an inch. I usually use a 7F on Morgan all over except her head, which i use thinning shears to give her a round head. These are especially nice on cotton coats. On yorkies that are getting short puppy coats i use either a 5F or a 7F all over. The skip tooth blades are used for bulk trimming, and they are easier to cut a dog with if you don't know what you are doing. I prefer the 5F because it gives a nicer, smoother cut. For example i have a Buttercut 5F that is 6mm and an Andis 5FC that is 6.3mm. Basically the same thing, however sometimes you will notice that the mm listed on the blade is different. I was told that the F stands for Finishing, other places say that it means Full (as in not a skip tooth).
