Need new clippers for inside ears

• Need new clippers for inside ears minimom Posted : 1/5/2007 12:19:01 AM ...specifically for clipping the inside of Schnauzer (cropped) ears (lots of nooks and crannies).  I have an Oster finishing clipper that I've used for several years and it works pretty well.  The Oster blade is approx 1" wide.  But I'd love to find something more narrow.  It needs to have a very fine blade with no chance of nicking the ear, and with as little amount of noise/vibration as possible.   Any suggestions?  LIKE 5 REPLIES 128 VIEWS LAST POST THERESAMAT Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• theresamat Posted : 1/8/2007 12:30:01 PM Im glad you asked this question.  I'm always nervous about shaving the ears on my Scottish Terrier. I would love to know the safest blade/clipper to use. Hope some of the pro's respond to this. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• theresamat Posted : 1/9/2007 9:19:36 PM Is a 40 less likely to nick than a 10 blade? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• starsenchis Posted : 1/9/2007 10:08:42 PM It depends...it won't get caught in a skin flap because the teeth are very close together, but if you press down too hard it can give the dog razor burn.  I use a 40 blade to do poodle feet- it works SO much better than a 10 blade for getting between the toes.    0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• theresamat Posted : 1/9/2007 10:20:18 PM Thanks for the info! I will get a 40 and make sure not to apply to much pressure. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
