#7 Blade

Definition

Leaves about 1/8 inch (3mm) of coat. Commonly used for body work on sporting breeds and shorter summer cuts.

Why It Matters

One of the most versatile skip-tooth blades in a groomer's kit.

Pro Tip

Go with the lay of the coat and keep strokes long and even — rushing causes clipper lines.
