I think Andis uses FC 'finished cut' which is the same as F, 'finish' which Oster uses. |
I have andis clippers that I have been using since I started doing all the grooming on Jada and Bogie, and use the FC blades (mostly 5 and 7) I clip against the hair growth for smooth finish. I haven't had an issue with ever nicking or catching skin, but I clip with a very light touch, never letting the blade touch skin. Do I need to be watching for other dangers of catching skin?
