Have you tried brushing all the leg hairs up & out & running the #5F/FC? It should get it neat & short. You can do that w/the body too if it looks choppy, brush the hair against the grain. If you want it shorter, you can go against the grain, but I wouldn't use anything higher than a #7F/FC to do that.
Using a #10 blade on the body has it's bad points, but it's also a personal preference & it might be ok for the thicker soft cottony hair. 1. they can get sunburn, esp if the pup has lighter pink skin. 2. they can get clipper burn. |
I think the 8.5 is an Oster.
I am going to try to brush the legs up to see if I can get a better cut with the 5 blade. I may try the #10 once it gets warmer out.
