| Groomers I have a blade question I do my own grooming but I would like to do a better/easier/quicker job than I do now. When I was using a regular groomer and I told her we would be moving away she told me the blade numbers that she used but I can't remember them. She did a puppy or teddy bear cut where the body was fluffy and so were the legs but the legs were just a bit longer than the body hair. I seem to remember her mentioning a 4 blade and a 10 blade but that could be totally wrong. Maybe the 10 blade for the legs?? Can anyone help me out here? |

A 4 blade leaves more length and you can use that on the body and legs but it won't leave it that fluffy. I usually use a 4 blade or 3 3/4 for the body and scissor and blend the legs. | |

| Just remember for blades: the higher the #, the shorter the cut. The #10 is used for sanitary cuts & also can be used under attachment combs if you don't have the #30 or #40. #4F is good for silky (thin) haired #5F is good for silky (thicker) haired (I use this on mine, they range from thin to thick hair) #7F is good for leaving a very clean smooth non shaved look (this works best w/cottony thick hair) For the legs, I don't use a clipper but a curved shear. You can comb out the hair or use your fingers to make the hair stick out the front 1st & then the back & cut what is sticking out. I know, that sounds easier than actually doing it loll.
