Andis Size 2 Ceramic Edge Detachable Blade

Great

great product

My dog is weird, and seems to think of shearing day as spa day. My dog is a hybrid of border collie, sheepdog, rottweiler, black bear, and pig. Needless to say his undercoat is thick, and usually gross because of the black bear and pig lineage. He rolls, and wallows. The sheepdog in him needs airflow, while the sleek cocker spaniel layer on top wants to grow til it reaches the floor. #2 blade lifts the undercoat like butter, except it doesn't smell like butter, it smells like rotten fish. That's not the blade's fault. #2 for dense undercoat, and #5 finish cut blade for the paw fur is what I use on this fur beast. Can't go wrong with Andis, the blades take forever to dull, they only get hot after an hour of use, which if you have my dog, you'll be shearing for 2 hours, but at least you won't have paid a professional only to pay again in 2 months. The attached picture is of my dog post-spa after I removed a grocery bag full of fur. Given that this was his second shearing in 3 months, there was only 1 bag of fur instead of the usual 2. I don't know what he expects me to do with the fur, but he glares at me when I've put it in a bag. He then runs around outside and promptly finds something to roll in. If Andis could create an anti-rolling option, that would be great. I don't recommend attempting to shear an actual bear, by the way. My dog is not really a bear or a pig, he just smells and acts like one.

I've used it for a few days , it's good

Have had Andis ceramic clippers for a few years. Cut my own hair and beard very often. Found that I was using 000 with a Number 2 guard for trimming my beard and side of my head. The plastic guard sometimes gave uneven results or was too long to get mustache area. This Blade eliminates need for guard. It cuts at the same length. Easy to pop the blade off, switch to different blade, and go back and forth. I prefer the clean cut of a blade without a guard, but can't afford 8 different blades. The guards on the 000 and 0 blade are great for variety, but if you know there is 1 length you use often, get that blade size as well. You'll be happy you did.
