a 7' blade is what is reccomended to take matts out , I still separate the matt and then use the clippers .
You just get a feel for how to use clippers. I used different sizes of blades , on both my dogs. When the hair become shorter or is matted I change the size.
I never use the shortest blade becuse it is too close to the skin. Having a grooming table is especially helpful when grooming and clipping. I am no expert and trying to learn as I go .
So far , I have used the clippers on my shih tzu puppy , and now My yorkie . I am proud of myself, be prepared to take the time to do it . I also like to give them a bath afterwards.
