These finest top quality clipper blades are for Oster fur clippers. The blades are very well made & are treated with a unique cryogenic tempering procedure which makes them on average 15°C cooler than standard clipper blades & therefore more durable. The blade is protected with Ag ION which has proven very effective in preventing the growth of a broad range of bacteria, mould & mildew. ' Skip Tooth' blades are made with cutting teeth of alternating lengths, meaning the clippers can slide more easily through your dog's coat. Every dog has a different type of coat & as such the Oster clipper blades are sold separately. This allows the customer to purchase the correct blade suited to their dogs coat. The term "F" means that the Oster blade has fine teeth. An "F" blade is mainly used for smooth, soft & very fine hair.

- lubricating the blades: A light film of oil should be maintained on the surface of the cutting blades. Oiling the blades frequently (every 3-4 minutes) while in use will help keep the blades cleaner. If there is not enough oil the metal teeth rub together & wear out more quickly.
