Other than that, home groomers won't need this blade.
Some also use the #15 to trim ear flaps, this is used to trim poodle paws.
Do you have the rechargable Arco Wahl? Mine hasn't been working right either...it actually nicked my guys last time I used it.  I'm guessing the blade needs to be replaced & maybe that's why they sell it separately...I might send it in to get sharpened. |
Mine is the Andis rechargeable...I'm thinking like you that the blade needs to be replaced or if I can find a place to sharpen it. The #40 blade seems to be a little too close for me...I will try the #10 or the #15 and see how that goes.
