Thanks my poodle hates to be groomed and I hate doing it. The groomer hates him and I hate the groomer for hating my dog. So I'm doing it myself so now I know why my groomer hates my dog. I still like my dog and he rocks a Mohawk.
This is the best blade video on TH-cam. Straight to the point! Thanks!
Hi there thanks so much for watching and your positive feedback. Much appreciated!!😊🐶
Clean, quick, EXACTLY the run down of info and rhythm I needed. Saving this forever
Excellent advice, thank you. I learned most of this by trial and error, but it's nice to get a clear explanation of why some blades work better for matted areas.
Great video-finally someone explained the blades as the title states-So many vids say they will be explaining the blades and then they don’t-so thank you!

Very helpful, thanks! I really didn't understand the difference between a comb and a blade, since both seem to accomplish the same thing , which is to keep the blade a fixed distance from the skin. But the bottom line is that a comb doesn't work over a coat that isn't thoroughly brushed. I know from experience that even after hours of brushing my labradoodle, I've not really done a perfect brushing down to the skin, so it's worth it to invest in a few extra blades. Glad to hear that you recommend a 4-blade, since that's what I concluded from looking at my own (human) Wahl clipper set, and what I ordered from Chewy.
Thanks so much for watching we are so glad to hear it was helpful!! Yes you’re right it’s so important to fully brush out the dog before using the attachment combs. If you ever have any grooming questions please let us know:)

Hi Jane, thanks so much for watching! Here is the link to the blade attachment video th-cam.com/video/nchpspC-Y7o/w-d-xo.html If you have any questions after watching please let us know!
Hello Furry Friends Zone - thank you so much for taking the time and effort to produce this excellent, easy to understand and follow, video tutorial explaining the different clipper blades and their uses on the dog's body. I have a much better understanding now when taking my poodle to a professional groomer.
Hello and thanks again for watching and commenting. Blades can get very confusing for sure. It is very helpful for a groomer to understand the length you like by referencing a specific blade. Nothing will get lost in translation that way.😊
Needed this explanation so thanks 😊 I groom my own Yorkie. Subscribed ✅

Great Video
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
That was such a great vid! Now I understand. You mention you use a 30 blade vs. a 10 blade with attachments, is there a reason why? I just reorder a new 10 blade for my Andis AGC2 as I was getting hair between it and the attachment too often and it was dull.
Hi there thanks for watching. It’s a personal preference with the 10 or 30 blade. I have had better luck with the 30z if the blade is dull it will drive you nuts. The biggest thing to help with attachment combs is to keep the blades sharp and make sure the dog is completely brushed out.
That's really help full brilliant explanation I've watched so many vids glad I found this one
Subbed & 👍🏻
I'm trying to purchase a good clipper for my tiny yorkies I'm in the UK and it's becoming to expensive 5 years on please any advice on brand of clippers 🤗
Hi there thanks for watching and commenting. We have a few videos on different clippers my personal fav is the KM10 and the Heinger
@@FurryFriendsZone I purchased the Wahl Km10 but first use and the blade got very hot only did my puppies paws and sanitary area so I'm sending it back not sure what to replace it with x
@@FurryFriendsZone could you tell me what one of the heineger you think is best for yorkies do they have clip on off blades?
Thank you for this. I have an older poodle who never has mats and has a thinning coat - I’m guessing the combs ate best?
Hi thanks so much for watching I’m happy we could help. It really depends on the coat but a short comb would probably work for you as long as the coat isn’t matted. ❤️🐶❤️
I need advice - i just purchased the Andis at home easy clip multi-style clipper - the attachment combs come in 1/16(No. 0), 1/8(No.1), 1/4(No.2), 3/8(No.3), 1/2(No.4), 3/4(No.6) (6 of them),,,,these are not the numbers you mentioned. There is no 5 or 7. I have a maltipoo.these are not numbered like the ones you are showing. I like the body short and the legs and face a little fuller. No instructions came with the box - so what size do I use for her - she is not matted - i bath her - do her nails and ears but this cutting is new to me. Can you help me decide what these comb numbers mean
👍
This video was great. But a newbie question. What do you use if say you have a golden doodle who likes their hair on the longest side ? I use human clippers and scared to move into dog clippers but with the human clippers we use like a #5 or #6 blade (again human clippers not dog)
Hi there thanks for watching. I’m not too sure about the human clippers but to leave any length you would need to use an attachment comb. Those are for dog clippers they range in length but the coat has to be completely mat free. I hope this helps!❤️🐶❤️
Just got a really nice clipper... Like REALLY nice... It's my first time buying blades for it this week I got them ALL. I have one that says blocking...?
Thanks so much for watching. I’m not sure what blocking means I would have to see the blade before I commented on it!
I'm smarter now than I was before I watched this. Thank You
Hi there thanks for your positive feedback. We are happy we could help!
Thanks for all the info. I "try" to groom my 3 miniature schnauzers since there was an incident with the groomer. Anyways i have the Wahl Bravura what would you do the body with? As in what # blade. Thanks
Hi there thanks for watching. Choosing the blade really depends on what condition your dogs coat is in as well as the length you like on him/her. Schnauzers normally have a short back and face and feathering and longer legs. So 7 or 10 on the back. Otherwise same length all over looks cute too. We have a min schnauzer in our hoe to do a puppy cut video that might help!❤️🐶❤️
Thank you so much!❤
😲👏👏👏👏👏🙏🏽
You’re AWESOME!
Thanks so much for watching and your positive feedback!❤️🐶❤️
What does it mean when the size is labeled as 3/4" HT/19mm? I need a blade that will leave my longhair dachshunds hair from 1/2 to 1 inch long. Thanks!
Hi Denise! Thanks for the comment:) The 3/4” blade will leave the hair 3/4 an inch long. If you want to have the hair left longer an attachment comb is an easier and better option to use. Make sure to use a 30 blade on the clipper before adding the attachment comb. I hope that helps! If you have any other questions please let us know!
So the numbering I get. The different letters after the numbers is confusing for me..... I use Andis blades. Thanks 😊
Thanks for commenting!! The FC/F (some blades say FC and some just say F) on a blade means that it is a fine cut which is a finishing cut. The ones that do not say FC are a skip tooth blade which I find are much easier to cut your dog and therefore I do not suggest using those ones. I only use blades that say F or FC when I groom and I recommend only purchasing blades that have the F or FC on them. I hope that helped!! If you have any other questions please let us know.
I have a Great Pyrenees who hates getting his back legs brushed is there a blade i can use to shorten it up but not to short just to take a little length off
Hi there! Thanks for watching and commenting. Any blade you use would cut the hair too short therefore I suggest using a 30 blade with a comb attachment (the longest attachment comb). If the hair is matted then you will have to use a blade to shave it but if it is not matted then you can use the comb attachment as the hair has to be matt free to use. If you have any other questions please let us know!
I have a question! I am getting a giant schnauzer puppy and the breeder says to do an all over body cut with the #7 blade . Do you have any recommendations?
Hi there thanks for watching and commenting. I personally wouldn’t shave a puppy with a 7f blade. There are times that some people prefer their adult schnauzers done that short but I don’t think it’s what you would want to do with a pup. If you are wanting the traditional schnauzer clip that blade would only be used on the back and head. It’s really all a personal preference. I personally like a pup to look like a puppy for as long as you can. Enjoy the fluff.😊
Hi
I have a toy poodle and has the andis ultra edge clipper, last time I trimmed her with the blade that came with, but it’s too short and doesn’t look nice
Which andis blade should I use to leave a bit of longer hair pls
I am from the uk.
Hello! Thanks for watching and for your question! They normally come with a 10 blade which is generally used for the sanitary and some use it for the pads of the feet. I would suggest using a 4f or a 5f which is a bit shorter than the 4. Also you do not have to exclusively use an andis blade with your andis clipper you can use interchangeable blades from other brands. I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any others question we would love to help!
Which clippers and blade is good for a samoyed mix chow
And Akita?
Hi Elizabeth! May I ask what you plan to use the clippers for on your samoyed chow mix and akita as they are double coated dogs so they are normally just trimmed in the hind areas and washed and the undercoat is blown out. Please let me know and we can further assist :) Thanks for watching!
What type of andis do you use?
I have two small dogs not more than 3 kg what type of blades do I need poodle and Yorkie
Hi there thanks for watching and commenting. I have had almost every clipper Andis has made. I have had many two speeds. The blade really depends on how long you want their coat left and what condition it’s in. If they are matted you will need a blade that gets underneath the mats.
You only seem to use different blades for different lengths. Are you against the plastic clip on guides for getting the right coat length?
Hi there. No the attachments combs are great too but dogs cannot have any matting at all when using them. This video is just about blades. We have another one on attachment combs
What angle do you use the clippers?
Hi Margaret, thank you for your comment! It is a bit hard to explain how to angle the clipper in text so I would recommend watching our full groom of a wheaten terrier video (th-cam.com/video/Qg8R0s7T4rE/w-d-xo.html) that will help to show you how I hold and angle the clipper when grooming. After watching if you have any other questions please let us know and we are happy to help!
What clippers are vest to use?
Hi there thanks for watching. We have videos a few clipper review videos which are all good with the blades in this video. It’s really a personal preference. My current fav is the Heiniger cordless clipper
For a Doodle - which would you prefer?
Andis 22340 ProClip OR the Wahl KM10 brushless?
Hello! I have used both clippers and right now I am currently using the Wahl KM10 and I have to say I prefer the Wahl KM10 to the Andis 22340 ProClip. I am planning to do a video comparing Andis and Wahl clippers so stay tuned for that :)
@@FurryFriendsZone Pawsome! Can’t wait to see it. (I’ve been trying to order the Wahl for over a month! Back ordered everywhere.)
@@JaceShoemakerGalloway Yes I have heard that from a few people. Are you based in Canada or USA? If Canada please let me know and I can recommend a grooming site that may have some available!
@@FurryFriendsZone US.
@@JaceShoemakerGalloway Thanks for the reply!! The places I was going to recommend are in Canada but I will keep my eyes out to see if I see any US sites selling the clipper :)
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much for watching!
who makes ceramic blades
Hello! I am so sorry for the delay in getting back to you. All the major companies like Wahl, Andis and Oyster carry ceramic blades in their collection. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions please let us know :)
Can these blades fit in every clipper?
Hi there thanks for watching. Yes universal blades like wahl, Andis, oster all are interchangeable as long as it’s not a clipper that already has the blades screwed into the clipper
@@FurryFriendsZone thank you very much for your help
Only in A5 Detachable Blade Clippers (like Wahl KM10), not for 5 in 1 clippers.
I'm still confused on the blades. If you have a 30 and a 10 blade, which one cuts the hair shorter?????
Hello! Thank you for your comment. It is totally okay to still be confused by the blade lengths and we are happy to help with any questions you have! So the smaller the number the longer it leaves the hair and the bigger the number the shorter it leaves the hair. Therefore a 30 blade will cut shorter than a 10 blade. I use the 30 blade under an attachment comb and in the pads of the feet but I do not normally suggest someone who is new to grooming at home to use a 30 blade in the pads of the feet until you have practiced with a 10 blade multiple times as there are flaps of skin in the pads of the feet you can accidentally cut. I hope that helps and if you have any other questions please let us know!
@@FurryFriendsZone Thank you!!
I’m still confused. Only one blade on my Wahl and there isn’t a number. There is a switch with I II III. I have 3 combs 1,3,4. The shorter the comb the shorter the hair? I’m wanting to shave close/short as possible. Can you shave without a comb?
@@FurryFriendsZone Thank you for explaining this. Even after watching the video I was confused about the numbers, too.
"Around the bum area"? Are you originally from the UK?
Haha no I am not, I didn't know that was a UK phrase. I have always said it that way, too funny!
This is just what I need to know, except....what is a skip-to, please? 🤔
Hi Rachel! Thanks for watching and for your question. A skip tooth blade leaves the same length of hair has a finishing blade but has alternative short and long teeth designed to leave a more textured, rough finish. I personally only use blades that have the F for finishing as I prefer an even, smooth texture finish. If you have any other questions please let me know!
@@FurryFriendsZone yeah, skip tooTH - I get it! Duh!
What's a bum area?
Hi thanks for watching. It’s their rear end! 😊🐶
I am trying to find a video for hand stripping a dog like a wire dachshund. do you have any ?
Hi there thanks is for watching. No I’m so sorry we don’t have any on hand stripping.
@@FurryFriendsZone 🤕
Poy
What about cats ?? 😩
Cats have very thin skin. You have to be very careful. You can get cat specific blades
😂🎉❤🎉😅😢
Thank you!!!!
We are glad it was helpful thanks for watching!
