This review is from: Andis Ceramic Edge Blade # 3 3/4" [ 64435 ] (Health and Beauty)
I have a bichon shih tzu hybrid. And the hair on his head is curly like a poodle, and the rest of his body is straight and fine (like a little girl's bangs, ever cut them crooked?)I have an Andis 2 speed clippers, and I tried click on combs (pushed the hair down), cutting his hair using my fingers as a gauge, and finally bought this size blade. I wash then dry the dog, comb him out good, and run the clippers with this blade over his entire body in about a half an hour. It cuts the hair fairly short, but not too short. And its fast enough it doesn't stress the dog. After I use this blade, I use a #10 to do his tummy, rear end, etc., scissor cut around his feet, and I'm done. less than an hour. Then I don't have to comb him out every day, just his ears and tail. I love the long haired look, but its not practical for a wild one that runs through the mud and weeds every day. I use a #10, this #3 3/4 and a # 7 for both of my dogs. And I like the ceramic edge.
