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.

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.

Used this blade on an Oster A6 clipper for a very hairy-matted golden retriever-cross dog. Even though I brushed the hair before starting, I still had to stop to scissor-cut away the clumps of hair in the matted areas. It took just over an hour to trim Max, who normally is very skittish around clippers. We did not have to sedate him (first time ever) and only had to hold him down when trimming near his head or backend. I suggest removing any matts with scissors ahead of time which would likely make the cut go faster. Max now has a very short haircut but I think he looks great and is now much cooler in our very hot weather - 30+ C (in BC Canada)Blade did heat up but was never hot to touch.

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,

Goldendoodle grooming dream come true finally! Our goldendoodle has what seems like a three layer coat when it's left for longer than 8 weeks. It's a top coat of wirey curly fuzz, middle is course/thick, bottom is soft/curls....needless to say its a challenge to groom for those of us new to grooming and knowing what to buy. We went through a few purchases trying clippers and blades....but this #3 Skip Tooth along with the Oster Golden A5 was an affordable Goldendoodle grooming dream come true. Hoping it lasts awhile for us.Note: When we first put the blade on the clipper it was working really well but kept getting clogged and stopped trimming...had to take it off and screw it back on...it was

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).

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.

Despite my having groomed a previous large dog many times, my labradoodle's hair was so thick that all the other blades I have just caught in his hair. I even tried using 7F and #10 blades with a plastic attachable comb on the clippers which was even worse. For several years I'd resigned myself to using scissors, but he's a large dog, scissors dull quickly, and I always had blisters. After reading some groomers blogs, thought I'd try this. What a difference! Can cut his body, use scissors on most of his legs, and other blades on his head. Have only used it 2-3 times, but it continues to be very sharp.

If you have a goldendoodle or a labradoodle, you know cutting their thick, curly hair can be a real challenge, especially when it is long. Not with this no. 3 blade. I took the dog's hair off in layers and it worked great. You can't try to take it off all at once, you have to go in layers, but this blade allows you to do it. The secret is the skip tooth. I had a no. 1 blade before, but it got way to close the skin. I then tried the plastic "clip on" combs with it. No dice. they got hung up in the thick hair. The skip tooth blade is perfect for hair like a goldendoodle.

They are certainly not the cheapest blade on the market and there are a small number of minor design faults to the system as a whole but they are certainly highly effective and fully do the job intended. Oster produce an exceptionally wide range of blades that are all very easy to fit and to use due to them being pre-tensioned and they do seem to keep their edge well. On a related note whilst the machine and blades aren't particularly cheap if you require other spares these are quite reasonably priced as many of them are small plastic mouldings.

I purchased my first pair of Oster clippers this week and I purchased this blade to go with it. I have to say it is excellent, cuts through hair like a knife through butter. I have a very old Golden Retriever who loves to swim and roll in mud. His hair is thick and matted(despite grooming) and to keep him comfy in the hot weather I used this blade which a lot of people moan about for a goldie as it is quite short. The whole job took 40mins, so quick and smooth. The blade doesnt get warm and the dog was comfrotable. Highy reccommend.

I use this blade to groom my dogs paw pads. It glides easily over the fur on those hard to clean areas. This blade cuts very close and is more like a surgical prep blade, but I am careful and DO NOT clip in between their pads. I just quickly guide the blade over the tops of pads to give my dogs a better grip on my wood floors. They tolerate this procedure much better than using the scissors. It is a faster method too. My dogs pads never looked better. I recommend this blade ONLY if you know what you are doing and use extreme care.

I bought this to trim around the edges of my dogs ears. There's not a chance I'll clip him with a 40. I was using a 10 but I have to be so careful with a 10 it makes me uncomfortable. I also make a few passes on the underside of his ears with this. I have a Wheaten Terrier and I do a pet trim on him which means I don't groom the entire dog with thinning shears, but instead use clippers and various blades and then blend him with the thinning shears. My goal is to make him look like a Wheaten so people know what he is.

We buy these blades so my wife can work on her living topiary garden, also known as Gus. Gus (short for Octavius Augustus Plummet) is our 8 year old Standard Poodle who loves Plummeting down the stairs. My wife loves grooming him herself, into all kind of wonderful shapes and patterns. Hence these blades. Do I wish they lasted a little longer, yes. Have we tried sharpening them, absolutely with acceptable success. Do we keep buying them when needed, we sure do; because everyone needs a hobby they enjoy.
