Clipper Blades

All clipper blades accept two parts. The larger lesser bract, called the comb, feeds the pilus into the top, or cut, blade. The cut blade is moved back and forth very quickly by the clipper motor to cut the pilus.

Cut

Length of hair left when cutting against the natural grain of the coat, or on a dog breed with an off-standing glaze, such as a Poodle or Bichon Frise. Cutting with the grain of the glaze on most breeds leaves it i clipper blade length longer. For instance, a #7 clipper blade leaves approximately iii.8mm hair when going against the grain, but will exit approximately 6mm when going with the grain.

Skip Tooth Clipper Blades

Perfect for blending brusk areas with longer lengths. Ideal for fibroid-coated breeds such as Terriers. The coarse or uneven teeth on a Skip Molar volition feed the hair into the cutting blade more effectively, which allows you to clip under mats. Often used before the bath for crude-cuts, and on dogs that must be shaved completely downwardly.

Finishing/Full Cut Blades
