As a pro groomer, I only use Andis clippers and blade in my shop. I use the 7 especially for dogs that are severely matted. Andis has a nice guide to show you the blades recommended for certain breeds. Be sure to use their Blade Care and Cooling spray so you don’t burn the pet. Blade Care will prolong the life of your blades. Remember the smaller the number of the blade, the longer the fur will be cut. Oil your blades after every use to prolong their life, and wipe the oil off each time before you begin to groom the dog.
Clean fur cuts much better than dirty, oily fur. Be sure to comb out all the mats and tangles so your blade doesn’t catch and hurt the pet.

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.
