Should the fine blade set or the coarse blade set use on cutting men's hair?

I really don't know. I use the fine blade on my poodles faces. It shaves very close, it would work to shave the back of the neck after the haircut.

I have only used it on animals, can't really say if it can be used on humans because I never did.

Skip tooth blades are a rougher cut meant to go through matted tangled hair etc. They just feed through easier. Your F blades are finishing blades...smoother cut but will not handle mats at all. Typically you would rough cut with a skip tooth and then go over with an F blade. The number stands for the length it leaves the hair.

I have the same problem. However, I think it also depends on the hair texture. The silkier they are, the worse the blade can handle. I will get a shorter blade next time.

I just saw a grooming thread on a great Pyr website that recommends a 20-22 blade. I haven't tried it yet, am looking like you.

I'm new at this but I believe is means finish cut or a fine cut. I'd check with a groomer.

No. I bought this set with intentions to eventually update some of the pieces for my husband and bought a Merkur Model 180 Long Handled Safety Razor for him to switch between regular shaving and safety razor. He loves it!

The 913-50 blade works great on my moustache and chin hair. Also use for my haircuts. I send our Westie to the groomer since I am not good at sharpening.

Hi Idlewood, I too am a non professional home groomer. After reading many blogs and watching many videos I think using combs is in many ways safer than a bare blade which heats up and burns the skin if not cooled often. If your clipper comes with combs, try to not buy a set which has all the sizes you get with the clipper. Ive used these combs and like them very much. They are put on opposite from the combs I'd used in the past.

I'd stay with Oster brand blades. The blades are numbered and cut to different lengths. Decide which length you want to cut to and get the corresponding blade.

I use it for trimming my horses so I use the closest setting. But the blade is easily adjustable. It would depend on how close you want to trim your hair. It doesn't leave it very long.

Coarse 5-in-1s work well under a comb. Fines work well for close work, (pads, sanitary). I use both blades, although I love the original Wahl Arcos I have been grooming since 1976, and am a CMG in both dogs & cats

The 30 and 40 are best for under the feet. 10 for sanitary clipping. Combs are good for the body if no Matting is present. Watch the temp of your blades they can get hot quickly.

Razor Blade and a steady hand should be no problem. We cut them all the time.

Go with the wahl compition blades. These dull out to fast but I LOVE the Wahl compition blades. I grrom professionally and the compition blades last forever before they need to be resharpened and they don't leave any track marks and don't leave a jut when using combs.

I am missing hair on various parts of my body from getting my Wusthof paring knife very sharp. I suppose if I was going to shave my face/head with it I would also invest in a strop but for everyday kitchen chores, it is plenty sharp. Just understand it will take some time to create your new edge with this system if your current edge isn't close to the 40 degree bevel.

Carolyn, I did not purchase these same scissors, the ones I got are just straight hair cutting shears. I agree with some of the other answers, you need to know exactly what you are doing not only for the current style you are trying to achieve but for the hairstyle that you will have as the hair grows back. For a lot of thinning, I recommend you got to a professional. If you know how to use these, I recommend you not use them on yourself but on others...hope that helps.
