Thanks again Ladies!
The #9 is too coarse with the clip on blade guards, the guards don't work that well with a #10 and the #10 is a shade finer than a #9.
As a professional groomer, I have the different size blades and some of the thicker combs that snap onto my blade to rough in certain lengths on some breeds and mixes. THen I follow that cut to finish scissor the dog.
Never cut against the growth of hair always go with the way the hair grows.
Comb/brush out first, blow dry and comb/brush as you blow dry. That will give a much more even cut as you are stretching the hair out when you do that. Once completely dry, clip and scissor to what you want fluffing it up with your comb or or brush so you can see anything you have to recut to make it even.
