![]() I use the yellow no 5 (5/8") on her legs and hips to leave the fur longer, she has skinny legs, and this avoids what someone on the forum referred to as pipe cleaner legs. I usually do Jenna with the blue no 3 comb (3/8") over her main body, clipping with the lie of the fur, this cuts fairly short, I do it because she is a large framed dog, and looks really overweight if her coat is too long. Andis do comb sets, they are dearer, and the comb teeth are plastic, which is inclined to break in a thick coat. (About £15) Each comb is a different colour, which is useful, and the comb teeth are metal, the comb spring-clips onto the clipper blade. The comb set usually recommended is made by Wahl, it has 8 different sizes in the set, and the cost is very reasonable. ![]() The combs extend the space between the dog's body and the clipper blade, so with a set of combs of various sizes you can cut to different lengths. The no 10 blade which is usually included with the clippers cuts very short and I only use it to remove hair between the pads and toes, however, you need this particular size blade, or a 15 to clip the combs onto. ![]() ![]() Click to expand.Yes, I thought the 3/4 blade sounded a bit short, but I thought it might be useful under the arm (leg?) pits perhaps, or for a more extreme overall cut if it gets very hot in the summer, particularly if we are in France.
