Highlighted Reviews

— Diane

"This blade seems to hold the edge longer and takes a little longer to get hot. Also doesn't get as hot."

— Tracy

"Very disappointed, was hoping this would keep me from using a guard. Tried it on both my poodle and wirehaired doodle. It does nothing. My 10 blade, with guard, works much better. Do not recommend."

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a blade that holds an edge and stays cool, this might be a good choice. However, if you have a breed with finer hair or need a blade that works well without a guard, you might want to consider other options.
