You can tell if you are using a fine-tooth blade because they are marked with an F after the blade number. They work best on fine or thin hair, and if you do try to use them to cut through matted hair, you will get frustrated because they will get stuck. They also make your dog’s coat feel softer than skip tooth blades. Many groomers use skip tooth blades to give the dog a quick overall cut before they wash them and then finish grooming with a different blade.įine tooth blades provide you with a cleaner, smoother look.
They will leave the dog’s coat with a layered look because they don’t trim evenly depending on how much hair has to be fed through the blades.
Skip tooth blades feed the dog’s hair into the clippers, and this feeding process is what enables them to cut through almost any type of fur.
