The Andis UltraEdge Size 7FC Blade is a professional-grade attachment designed for full-body grooming. It leaves hair at a uniform length of 3.2mm, making it a reliable choice for pet owners who want a short, clean trim that looks consistent across the entire coat. The "Finish Cut" design features a full set of teeth, which is engineered to provide a smoother, more even result than skip-tooth blades, especially on pets with finer hair.
Constructed from carbon-infused steel, this blade is treated with an advanced hardening process to maintain its cutting edge over long-term use. The high-quality steel is chosen for its durability and ability to stay sharp through thick or coarse fur. To protect the metal from rust and corrosion, the blade is finished with a chrome coating, ensuring it remains functional even when used on damp coats or stored in humid environments.
This blade is part of a universal detachable system, allowing it to snap easily onto most Andis clippers and other A5-style professional grooming tools. Its specialized design ensures a smooth glide through the fur, which helps speed up the grooming process and reduces the risk of pulling. It is a practical, no-nonsense tool for achieving a professional "summer cut" or a tidy maintenance trim at home.

Usage Tips
Practical Advice for the Andis UltraEdge Size 7FC Blade
- Always bathe and dry your pet before using this blade; dirt and grit will dull the carbon steel teeth very quickly.
- Apply 3 drops of clipper oil to the teeth and the side rails every 10–15 minutes to prevent friction and heat.
- For a 3.2mm length, clip in the direction the hair grows. Clipping against the grain will result in a much shorter, uneven cut.
- If the blade feels warm to the touch, use a cooling spray or swap it for a fresh blade to keep your pet comfortable.
- Ensure the coat is brushed through first; while powerful, the Size 7FC teeth can snag if they hit a dense mat.
