I'd like to know if what I have is useable or if I need a different blade or new pair of clippers entirely?
This is what I have http://www.amazon.com/Andis-18465-Easy-Style-Clipper/dp/B007A6IEJQ/ref=sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1412812089&sr=8-2-spell&keywords=andis+easystyle
it was recommended to me by a friend. I've done small projects and one head with this. Something I noticed though -- and this could be due to the fur or my technique and not even have to do with the clippers but....the fur turned out very choppy and I didn't get a smooth finish like I wanted.
I think the blade itself adjusts from a 000 to a 1 and I believe it comes with guards that measure 0 and 3. Is it possible to trim a head so it looks nice even and get the fur short enough with this tool? If not do I need another blade? I watched a video and it seemed like having a seven would be useful ... but unless it's absolutely necessary I'd like to wait on purchasing more stuff.
And if I'm correct I'd use the 3 guard first then the 0 guard and then my regular blade? I've watched a few trimming tutorials but this is still something I need to get the hang of and it bothers me because I know a good trim can make a HUGE difference and it's something I'd like to make sure I have the right tools for. If I'm set in that area then at least I know it's practice I need not a different trimmer....although I'm sure a new blade probably wouldn't hurt.
