Love these blades with my Oster A5 Turbo. They work perfectly and slice through the hair of my dogs better than the standard #10 blade that comes with the clippers. I have Cocker-Spaniel-Poodles and they have somewhat long hair that can get matted/tangled pretty easily. These babies cut right through the hair. I will say on thicker matts though you will have to get the blade just right or switch it out for the #10 due to the teeth being slightly longer on these 7F's. These blades have cut my grooming time in half which is about 4 hrs total (1hr per dog on average - 4 dogs total). The blades do heat up like any other blade and pretty fast (within the first 20-30 minutes of use)so be sure to get the Blade Cooling Spray or if you just oil them just be sure to let them sit for a while (I usually let mine sit in front of a fan so the whole mechanism cools down before using them again.) These blades also leave the hair just long enough - cutting with the grain of my dogs hair - for them to be safe in the sun (luckily they are inside dogs and don't spend too much time outside.) So if you have medium to long haired dogs these would definitely be the blades for you but the best case scenario would be to have at least 2 of each blade due to the fact that they dull and you will eventually need to get them sharpened but if you do have two of the same you can just swap it out and prolong the frequency of your sharpening them.

I was almost about to click on the "One Click Order" button for a brand new set of clippers, when my wife suggested we try ordering a new set of blades for our Oster A5.We have a small pack of mixed breed dogs, one of which is an 8 year old Queensland Heeler who I swear is part otter - her fur and undercoat are so thick it's crazy. The little girl was miserable given the heat wave we're going through here in the Southwest and her fur was a mess with little bits of pine sap she always seems to get stuck to.The new blade arrived exactly as promised within two days and we wasted no time trying it out on our pup that very night. We were absolutely amazed at how easy the new blade cut through her dense fur.We had her completely body clipped within 40 minutes, and that includes taking a short break to let the new blade cool before we tackled her tummy area.My wife and I were both very pleased with this product (as was Kylie the Queensland Heeler who ran around the house and yard for 15 minutes showing off her new "do" to the other dogs). This $20 gamble paid off big time. We're so glad we didn't spend all that extra money on a brand new set of clippers.

This blade is great for mixed breed long/haired dogs. I have a Rottweiler/Poodle/Australian Shepherd mix. His fur varies throughout his body from Rottweiler-short to Australian Shepherd-thick-and-long. To get an idea of his coat he is sometimes confused with a Newfoundland mix, a black Golden Retriever, or a Wire-Haired Lab, although his hair is very soft, not wiry.I like to shave him down in the winter to keep his coat short without going to the skin since we live in a region where temperatures can go from in the 50s to below zero in the span of a couple of days. This blade gives a bit of a shaggy look on his fur, but even if the cut is uneven you can’t really tell,so if you’re a beginner this would be a good blade to use. The blade stays very cool, unlike the #10, which is nearly always too hot. I had a little trouble with the blade when I first put it on because it wasn’t moving, and therefore not cutting. This was easily solved by tightening the screws on the blade head. After that, the cut went very fast, I think it probably took a half-hour to shave him (it usually takes an hour with his full coat).

The dogs: mixed breed pound puppies, now adults, about 37 pounds. One with a hair coat similar to a Golder Retriever; the other similar to a Brittany.I have about 5 different Oster blades but none seemed to really work well when cutting off their winter coats. So I tried this one. It hasn't been off my clipper since I bought it. If you're just a dog owner that wants to keep your dog looking decent this is probably the blade for you. It cuts off thick winter coats easily and does a pretty decent job of trimming although I use barber scissors around the ears.If you're only going to own one blade this should probably be it. Oster makes a myriad of blades that all cut a little differently.You should consult their chart before buying a second blade to make sure you get the one specifically appropriate for what you might want to do. Some of their blades are designed for use on specific dog breeds.I once raised sheep and sheared them myself. You might want to bear this in mind as you weigh my comments.

Excellent blade and clipper (A5) which I bought at the same time. Quiet, powerful and so much more efficient than the many cheap $40 clippers I have bought in the past. They are a bit heavy though and get hot quickly. Take a short break to clean and lubricate them often. Switch is easy to throw with a flick of your thumb. I couldn't figure out how to take off the original blade on the clipper and put on the 3F for a longer cut. I am not very mechanical so I called the Oster customer service and they walked me through it very quickly. It isn't described well in the paper insert. I also expected longer fur than the 3F blade delivered. That Is my mistake and I'll order another blade as well.I have a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle so their hair types are very different. The cocker is much easier to clip. Make sure to brush all poodle curls out first or clip them roughly with scissors and the clippers will be much faster. My poodle was tangled.

We were at wits end trying to cut our mini goldendoodle's hair with the 3F. Even with brushing and washing him, he constantly gets knotted up and it was taking us 3+ hours to cut his hair because we kept having to stop and carefully scissor out knots so the 3F could get through, and in many sections the clippers just couldn't make it with the 3F or even the very short 7F that came with the clippers. We were about to give up on cutting his hair ourselves and this blade was our last shot.I won't call this blade a miracle, but it makes cutting his hair doable. I was fantasizing that this would be like shearing a sheep in 10 minutes, but it still takes us about 45 minutes to cut his hair every month.That said, this blade can make it through probably 95% of what we were scissoring before. There's still a few spots that we have to scissor, but WAY less than before. I would highly recommend this blade to anyone else struggling with the 3F.

After 17 years I needed to get a new blade as the old one got way to dull to keep using, as I need to get it sharpened. It is always a good idea to have two of three #10 blades, so you will always have one useable while the other is getting sharpened! This blade si suppose to be more superior then the plain #10 blade. I hope it lives up to staying sharp longer then my regular #10 blade only time will tell! It fit great on my A-5 Professional Clippers which I purchased in 1996, they still work great! For long lasting clippers do not forget to do the regular maintenance on your clippers! I used these clippers to groom my 3 dogs as the 4th dog has short hair.My toy poodle gets a clipping about once a month and I loved having sharp blades ready to use as this is! The universal Oster combs fit great on them too!

I use this #3 skip blade when I am grooming my large golden doodles. They have thick curly hair and I use the #3F blade for most of their body, however in certain areas like around the lower neck area especially on the sides, their hair is really thick and this #3 skip blade goes through that area really fast where the #3F sometimes bogs down some. The blades on the Oster clippers swap off and on so easily. After I finish with the really thick areas I go over the area again with the #3F finishing blade. The cool lube keeps the blades from heating up also. The #3 blades give my dogs a nice summer cut without making them looked scalped which I don't want. I always use the clippers on clean, dry,combed through dogs and using the clippers cuts my time in 1/2 from doing the all scissor cut.

Every now and then, my two yorkie-poos need a little touch-up grooming in-between trips to the "beauty shop." I FINALLY broke down and bought this after trying to make do with just a #5 blade (a little longer cut) and a #10 Finishing Blade with clip-on plastic guides.There's absolutely NO comparison between using the "right blade for the job" and just doing your best with plastic guides. These metal teeth cut through hair safely with no hanging or tangling & the best part is there are no more "blade guides" to re-adjust or slip. These even work well around their faces.It's easy to change blade sizes (I also bought the CryogenX #5 about a year ago).This blade is compatible with both my Oster (

This works great for my OsterMax clippers of 7 years old. I just add a little oil and start clipping my 13 year old Shih/tzu/pomeranian mix. He does not have the thick Pom hair, so I cannot say for that, but also does not have primarily the Shih/tzu hair, really a mix between the two and this works great. I trim his body with a 10 and he is short enough for the summer months and in the winter, I wait every 3 months to shave him, but have always used a 10 and it's fine. My mom has siblings to my dogs and she uses a 7, but has to shave more frequently. I have purchased probably 4-5 over the years because I cannot find a decent blade sharpener person and will keep buying this until he passes.

This blade fit my Oster A-5 clippers perfectly. When I took the old blade off, which was not cutting anymore and was pulling hair, I found a lot of hair under the old blade and I cleaned that area really good and put the new blade on and it cut perfectly. I decided to take the new blade off and try the old blade again since I had cleaned all the hair out, just to see if it might work again with the area clean. Well the old blade is cutting perfectly again. I have decided to keep the new blade just in case I need it, but so far the old blade is working fine. Apparently all I needed to do was to take the old blade off and clean all the hair that had accumulated under the blade.

I bought this to cut the thick hair of my Pompom. Works perfect going through the thick coat. It is a tad shorter than I wanted ( my Pompom loves it though ) but that is my fault. The only drawback that I can tell is that if the hair is longer than say 2" one might need to "trim down" the dogs coat before using this blade as it did not want to go through 4" hair for any reason. Again, though since I am not a professional, it may be just my learning curve. Blade temperature did not seem to hot to me or to my beloved pet. Compared to the generic blade I was using before, this blade is wonderful, and now both me and my Pom will look forward to the "summer shave" time.

Good clipper for pets with thick hair coats. I have been grooming my own dogs for 15 years. I use this on my doodle. His hair can get matted terribly. This blade does a decent job of getting under the mats on his flatter surfaces; torso and thighs. It is difficult to use on curves, without the tines catching his skin or getting bogged down. Upper chest, underside of chin, armpits, backside, private areas, and feet are a challenge with this blade. After use, you will likely want to go back over their coat with a 3F blade, to even out the coat; even in a curly haired coat, like a doodle. Overall, a go to blade for me in the grooming process.

We have 2 large Labradoodles, & I have tried all sorts of blades. After doing some more research I discovered that using a skip tooth blade might really help. Several groomers forums recommended the skip tooth, but did emphasize the need to be careful with this type of blade, as it is easier to cut your dog. I have not found anything that works as well on these heavy coated dogs & am so glad that I went ahead and tried a skip tooth vs. the fine blades I was using. I plan on adding more sizes to my blade collection! The cryogen also stays cooler, but it would be nice to have 2 blades so you can change when one gets hot.

A couple of years ago, I purchased an Oster trimmer to cut my pets hair with and I think it came with a # 10 blade which is a very fine blade that will give a surgical type shave on the belly. I also purchased with it a #4F blade that some of the reviewers recommended at that time. I still had a difficult time grooming my pets hair with it because of the thickness of their coats. I finally decided I could do better and purchased this blade, the #4 skip tooth. This blade makes it so much easier to shave my pets hair and does a great job. It really pays for itself with just one use. I would highly recommend this blade.
