Ok, so after like 6 months of debate I am going to order my supplies this week! Here is what I am getting:

1. Andis UltraEdge 2-Speed Clippers in silver. I decided on these in case I need to use them on dogs I pet sit and so they last longer.

2. Fromm Premier III Series Curved Shears 6 1/2". I have heard a lot of good things about these on this forum.

My issue is the combs... I really am lost here. I did a search on the forum and didn't get any results that answered my question. I want him to be short. From his skin it is probably 3/4" to 1". But it lays flat on his back so there is no way a 3/4" comb or even 1" comb is going to get him that short... is there? If I go backwards maybe. But I don't know which way I am going to go! Please help. My options for the comb sizes are:
Andis Small Comb Set contains 9 sizes (1/16", 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", and 9/16").
Andis Large Comb Set contains 8 sizes (5/8", 11/16", 3/4", 13/16", 7/8", 15/16", 1", 1 1/4").

Please help! Thanks.
