The Andis UltraEdge Size 4FC Blade is a heavy-duty professional blade designed for medium-to-long grooming lengths. It leaves hair at a consistent length of 9.5mm, making it one of the most popular choices for pet owners who want a "plush" look that still significantly reduces maintenance. The Finish Cut tooth pattern is specifically designed to provide a smooth, clean result on a variety of coat types, ensuring an even finish without the jagged edges often left by skip-tooth blades.
Built from carbon-infused steel, this blade is heat-treated to create a harder cutting surface that stays sharp through multiple grooming sessions. The high-quality steel is finished with a chrome coating that provides a smooth glide and acts as a barrier against rust and corrosion. This makes the blade durable enough for frequent use and easy to maintain even in humid conditions.
This blade utilizes the universal detachable system, allowing it to fit all Andis professional detachable clippers as well as other brands using A5-style blades. At 9.5mm, it is highly versatile—long enough to provide a soft, natural appearance on the body and legs, yet precise enough for detailed work around muzzles and ears. It is a reliable, functional tool for achieving a professional "teddy bear" cut or a tidy winter trim at home.

Usage Tips
Practical Advice for the Andis UltraEdge Size 4FC Blade
- To ensure the 9.5mm teeth glide smoothly, always brush out all tangles and mats before you start clipping.
- For the most even 9.5mm finish, always follow the direction of the hair growth.
- Apply 3 drops of clipper oil to the teeth every 15 minutes of use to prevent friction and heat buildup.
- Use a small brush to remove hair from the blade regularly during your session to maintain cutting precision.
- Even with a chrome finish, metal blades can get warm. Check the temperature against your wrist and use cooling spray if necessary.
