My groomer told me not to use anything less than a #7 on the back.
Buddy has a schnauzer cut and his back is like velvet. Anything
smaller would be to the skin I would think. I am just learning about
these blades and the Andis that I bought last week only has one
blade that adjusts. After cutting too short in two places I finally got
the cut right. He came out really nice. His back looks exactally like the
groomer did it. I would say it's about 1/8". |
