I don't see a regular 7 . The other blades I use are not skip tooth for my curley labradoodle. Which do I want?

I went to a skip tooth blade and it works wonder's with our curley goldendoodle. I imagine it will work on your dog also. We went with a size 4 skip tooth and it was great

Ceramic is the best! They don't get as hot to the touch. We use the 5/8 and the 3/4. We like to keep their coats a little longer.

I have Goldendoodles and use this blade. However, I suggest going to the Andis site to see which ades are used for different trims.

What number blade are you looking for? I ordered the #5 blade and had to return it as it too didn't fit. I haven't re-ordered yet, but will say this that the #10 blade that came with the set was no longer sharp for when I cut my dogs hair for the second time. I have a Shih Tzu who's hair was never beyond an inch and always groomed no knots...so there should be no excuse for that. I now need to get another #10, but not sure if I should invest more money in these clippers as I don't find they have much power to them.

I've only used the blade it comes with - but I've bought replacements & if their available( I haven't checked) you could put another size blade on. Its great for small dogs - I have a toy poodle.

I have a hairy, double coated mutt that showed up a few years ago and because her hair is long and fine, it picks up every burr in our fields. And she is why I bought the heavy duty Andis. I use a #3 3/4 skip tooth, cuts about 1/2" (you may want to get one that cuts 3/4" or more, but the skip tooth makes for a more layered look than the full tooth blades. Get the blade size you want but I would suggest the skip tooth blade for those thick coats. You may have to stop for awhile if the blade get too hot, especially to begin with. I cut my dog every couple mo nths so it doesn't take so much effort each time. You might want to do it outside also. We live in the country and I just let the wind blow the hair into the fields-easy clean up!

I have never used Andis blades, but per this website - it says the #7 skip tooth WILL work with Oster & other brands. http://www.petedge.com/product/Andis-UltraEdge-Clipper-Blade-Size-7/43022.utshope this helps!! :)

I have a shaipoo and a Labradoodle and it works great on them. I used the #10 blade that comes with it on the smaller dog and a #4f on the Labradoodle.

I have a 7FC Ceramic Edge that I use on my big guy. He is part Chow, Lab, St. Bernard. It goes thru his thick coat like a hot knife thru butter!

The regular #3 skip tooth provides a rough cut. It's good if the dog has any mats or tangles, you can work it through them if they're not too bad. The #3F is a finishing blade. It gives a smoother cut and won't go through tangles or mats. I like to have both. First cut with the #3, then bath the dog, blow dry, and finish with the #3F. It gives them a 'puppy cut' look.

Depending on what you are clipping, a #5 is what is generally used to shave down a Lab or Golden Retriever. The lower the number of the blade, the more hair/fur will be left. Check the blade frequently as you trim. A hot blade of any length will leave a clipper burn.

on a couple of my combs i had to bend the teeth in a bit to keep them from sticking out farther than the sides of my clipper blade. that fixed that problem for me. just be careful not to bend it too forcefully, and bend it at the base of comb. i am using them with a 30 blade. not sure if that would make a difference.

I did buy two separate packages of blade covers. I have a Golden Doodle, I don't like her hair real short. I originally bought the package of large blade covers, which turned out to be on the too long side. I bought the small blades which I do use the second largest of that package. It would be better to have had a mid-size package, since I don't use most of either package, but there isn't one right now. I know that I got too close on my dog when I didn't have any guide on it, so that too is not an option.

The 10 blade is a surgical blade. I don't use it except for trimming potty area. Use it very carefully though. I did go get a 5FC blade that I use on the body. I scizzor the face & legs. I have a shih tzu. I do have the guards which can be used with the 10 blade. I just prefer the 5, and I may get a 2 blade as well. Good luck. I'm not a professional groomer. Just got tired of paying $40 every time she needed grooming.

I have German shepherds so I'm not sure. I bought a 7 inch skip tooth to thin their hair first and then a 7 inch. to finish and blend it. They work great and I am so glad I invested in them. Good Luck!!

All that I have found for it are 30 blades. I thought I had a 40 once but recently all I can find is the 30. Great little clipper for faces and feet for my toy poodles.

There are plenty of different blades available, online and at pet shops. You want Oster blades, and they really haven't changed the design in at least 40years. I have a couple of #10s and also use #8 and even a #40 to clean the unseen tummy area where they might get mats

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.
