Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Fear kept me from getting the 3-¾ FC blade. I have an Andis two speed clipper, ProClip Super 2-Speed Detachable Blade Clipper, Professional Animal Grooming, AGC2 (22360) which came with the size 10 blade that I never use. Instead, I purchased a size 40 blade and two sets of snap-on combs, both large and small sizes. I think that I misjudged how close this blade would come to my Bichon Frise’s skin, based upon the angles of the size 10 and the size 40. Since I am an amateur groomer, my first concern has always been not to cause any injury to my dog. I always envied the plush look that some people were able to give a Bichon’s coat and I was never able to achieve that look with the comb attachments or my inept scissoring. I finally decided to purchase this blade and, to my surprise, it is completely different than the ones that I have been using. The angle is very close to the ½” comb attachment, so I felt comfortable using it. Since this is a finishing blade and I did not purchase the skip tooth blade, I first cut the hair with my usual 40 inch blade and ½” comb. I then went over it with this 3-3/4FC blade. Wow, the difference really made me regret that I didn’t purchase this blade years ago. My Bichon’s hair is so even and plush, even along the sides where I usually have trouble blending the lengths. I am so enthusiastic about this particular blade and recommend it to anyone else on the fence about using a blade without comb attachments.
