Can you use the clipper to cut around ears and back of neck, or do you need to buy the Oster finisher shaver too ?

The #0000 blade width is 1.75" (bought separately). The # 000 width is 1 11/16" and the #1 is 1 15/16" both come with the clipper. Because of the large width of the blades it could be real awkward to use around the ears on a regular hair cut or mustaches. As for the neck and sideburns no problem even as a liner. Hope this is helpful

I use it that way and scissors to clean up any areas that May need to be attended to But I notice Some barbers use a finish clipper

i use only one blade for all my haircuts ,and that`s the blade marked " 0000 " . It cuts very close, but dose not nick or catch skin . I guess you could call my haircut the " skin head look "

I used it around the ears and back of neck. However, I feel that the finisher shaver would have been easier to use. The clippers are cumbersome and I had to go around the ears very carefully.

This Razor is good and will not cut you but it doesn't cut s close as a razor blade or a foil shaver. I would prefer a trimmer with a wider blade to trim the back of my neck, to keep a straight line. I hope this helps.

It is a clipper, not a trimmer. I would say its about 1-1.5 inches wide. I use the 00000 blade with it and trim necklines and around ears though. As long as you are careful, you can use it like that.

These clippers out of the box will not give you a close ("skin") cut. They can be adjusted to do it, but I wouldn't do that. They are not meant to for that purpose. There are liners and other cheaper clippers you can adjust if that's all you want.

I don't have the information with me right now but the clippers came with a paper which listed some of the extra blades to use for certain things. That information may be available on the Oster web site. I bought my extra blade at a farm supply store where they were all displayed on the shelf.

Yes, the Clippers are the best thing we have ever bought!! It comes with 3 blades, several combs & case. I use it to trim around my ears all the time and when you get older to trim eyebrows. It also great for the beard and cutting razor stubble. Very well made Clippers they are worth the investment.

Yes, its good for trimming small areas, its smaller than your normal size trimmer, which makes it easy to get around the ears and edging.

I would recommend going with the Oster Titan instead. The t finisher is small and really meant more for detailing. They get hot if you use them for more than cleaning up around the ear, neckline or for barbering designs.

Depends if you're using it professionally. I'm a barber and i prefer the oster.

Yes I use it to shave my head as well. The size of the head makes areas around the ear and under the nose a little tricky, but with a little practice you'll be golden.

I don't know...maybe. I also have the Wahl Chrome Pro 24 Piece perp Haircutting Kit, which I use on my head. I just found that it was too big to use on the beard, especially the mustache area. That's why I got this beard trimmer. I suppose it could work, but if you're wanting it for the sole purpose of cutting your hair, I'd go with the above mentioned clippers. Hope this helps.

I guess so. The hair trimmer with the blue tip is like a small trimmer/clipper, not unlike hair clippers (as opposed to an open blade). Its not very strong, meant more for finer nose and ear hairs, but I'd guess it would probably work to a certain degree

These clippers can be used for poodles or horses. The blade is the key. If you want a close clip you need a 40 blade. This will be skin tight, often known as a surgical cut. If you want a little longer cut, a 30 blade. The 10 blade will only take off the curls.

The shaver doesn't cut my neck when shaving, but I have been using Norelco 3-head shavers for years. I would suggest using less pressure in the neck area, and repeat several times.

Thats exactly what I bought it for and it works perfectly! The only thing is you have be very careful because you can easily cut your pet. If you go nice and smooth you will not have any issues. I use this to shave my dog and then I use normal clippers to do the finish work around the face and paws. This clipper is loud and a bit heavy but I havent had any trouble using it.

I've had a mustache since the summer and find the trimmer very useful. The shaver itself is easy to use. Just be aware of the parts when you take it apart to clean.

This is a trimmer. Use it to trim around the neck and ears. IE: The length is zero.
