Oh ok... so would you suggest getting maybe 3/4" and 1" and then maybe 1/2" because I still have a problem with the hair being flat... because my groomer told me this. She used to be really good but then had a baby (and took many months off) and his hair varies from 1/2" to 1.5" due to his last hair cut.. you can't really tell since its flat on his back though.

If the comb is 1" and I run it over his fur it will not cut anything, Or is the 1" just a measurement of how long it will leave it, the comb itself doesn't actually make the blade 1" from the skin?

Do I even make any sense?? Ugh this is so frustrating. I need to go to grooming school to understand this..
