Hi I bought the Andis clipper that came with guards and 10 blade. With the guards on I find it difficult to trim the legs and feet evenly to where it will look good. I notice you do not use guards. Should I just buy a 4, 7 and 40 blade and then I don't need to use guards? I was afraid to cut my dog without the guards thinking I'd cut her. I like to leave my dogs hair atleast 1/4 inch long with teddy bear face. Which number blade would be close to 1/4 inch?

@kjwoodall325 YES buy the actual blades for heavens sake... snap on combs are really hard to use when you are new to grooming... they still give me trouble. You do need to be careful with blades but the ones you mentioned are pretty safe ones to use, just make sure you get the F blades (finish) NOT the skip tooth blades. They will say 7F 4F... the 40 is just a 40. The 7F or a 5F would be closest to a 1/4 inch. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Thank you for this post, I've learned so much from it. I've wanted to learn how to groom my Shih tzu's face for a long time. Bella is a super cute little girl, I love that dog....such a sweet disposition. She's quite the star.

Where can I get professional electric shears with the different size blades? Do you have an online store you buy from?

[spanielmom93]

@bluegrassgirl44 Yes Ma'am I go through Petedge.com and I recommend you get a pair of Andis 2 speeds, you should watch my video on clippers and blades if you are really serious about getting a pair and doing your own dog regularly. ;)

Hello-I am a groomer also and have yet to find a pair of thinning shears that I really really like--and I use them alot of course. What kind do you use and reccomend if you don't mind my asking? Thank you so much and this video was great for me, too! :)

Thank you so much for this video. I have been trying to groom my dog and found it helpful. Although I still can't make her look as good as you do. I will get better. She does not like to have me trim with scissors or the shaver around her eyes so it becomes real difficult. I am affraid I will cut her. But I hope with time she will get a little more used to it. Thanks again.

Thank you for this video. I'm new to grooming. I used your video to groom a friend's shih tzu, it was SO helpful. My friend absolutely loved the outcome. Whew! Thanks again!

Thanks for the video! I'm going to attempt to groom my shih tzu's face, but she can be quite the diva. She won't let me trim her nails, but is perfect for the groomer or vet staff!
