What's the difference between the Ultra edge and Ceramic edge blades? Which one is best for thick coats?

I believe the Ultra is a non-ceramic blade. I purchased the Andis clipper with a ceramic blade and had to return it because it just didn't cut my dogs coat well at all.

The ceramic blade stays sharp longer and ceramic has a better ability to disapate heat but it's more fragile (so tie a string around your wrist to the clippers In case you drop it). It cuts my 3 large dogs thick hair very well.

It does NOT mean ceramic, there are FC blades on the Ultra-edge. CeramicEdge means ceramic blade. Now that that is settled, Full Cut is the meaning of the illustrious FC. The ceramic or ultra-edge are fairly similar in my experience with regards to longevity.

The blade seems to be a wave-set hacksaw type edge, presumably with teeth made of high carbon or "high speed" steel. I've learned through costly experience that even if the teeth are the much harder material called tungsten carbide (highly unlikely here), they will be destroyed almost instantly by even the softer grades of ceramic tile.The best reliable way to saw ceramic tile is with a diamond grit blade or bur. Diamond blades are readily available at about $30 to fit common inexpensive 4-1/2 inch high speed angle grinders. Small diamond-grit burs to fit Dremel or RotoZip type tools are far less expensive and allow finer control of the cut but they cut much slower and don't last nearly as long. Whatever you do, be SURE to protect your lungs from the tile dust to minimize chances of acquiring the deadly disease called silicosis.

I bought this model and I use the #10 blade for face, the special "foot blade" for feet and #7 if I want to shave them down. If you don't want to shave them close with the #7, use the #10 with one of the guards over it. (I bought the set of attachable guards that allow the coat to be cut to different lengths.)

It comes with a Dianond blade for cutting ceramic tile. I use the drop in method and try torning the tileover and cut on the back side.But Im thinking of no chip out on the front.Try the front too. See how that turns out. It is out in my tool house tonight.Ill look at it tomorrow and see what's printedanywhere I can see it. The rpm you want.I love it. Sure made short work of Hardi siding.

Any standard double edge blades will work. I tend to like the sharp blades in this razor as the razor is fairly mild. I always get great shaves form Gillette Silver Blues, Voskhods, Bic Chrome Platinums and Persona Medi Preps but the Feathers are really nice in this razor!

I use a ceramic 7 for everything almost, depends on the length you want though, before buying read what the blade cuts on length.

You can use any standard double edge blade but I'd advise against Feathers in general (unless you have lots of skill )and this razor especially because its so light

The blade is, indeed, stainless steel. The ceramic is between the head that attaches to the clipper and the blade. That's what helps keep the blade cooler during operation than blades without the ceramic "guard". Hopes this helps.

Hello Kyrylo, In my limited experience there are two principal factors in blade's sharpening. One and the most important is the hardness of the abrasive material (this is the material that you will use to abrade) the abrasive material must be harder than the metal of the blade, so it can erode the blade, until the blade takes a good edge. The other matter is the grain size of the abrasive material, if the size is small, the edge will be thinner and sharpen but it will take much longer to erode the steel, larger grain size will leave a coarse finish but the erotion part is considerably faster. If you are wondering if the carbide stone may abrade any of those steels... my answer will be a resounding yes. This material is one of the most hardest materials ever made and is almost or equal as hard as a diamond, there is no steel made by man that can achieve such hardness. But don't trust me, go and investigate about hardness. I recomend you to search the hardness tables of scales like Rockwell or Vickers, the manofacturer of the steel can provide you the info. You just need to compare the hardness of the steel and the stone. Finally I have a really good experience with this sharpener, as you may read in the description of it, the carbide stone sets the edge of the blade, and the ceramic stone finish the work, this is beacuse the ceramic stone has a smaller grain size than the carbide. And this is a pocket sharpener, to make quick repairs on the edge of modest knifes (like a bowie style and smallers) it's not for heavy duty. I hope I have been helpful. Best regards.

The T-Wide blade has more coverage the regular t-blade. I have this trimmer and the 5 star detailer with the T-Wide blade. They do a great job, it just depends on what you're trying to do with the trimmers.

I don't know though, if you need a replacement, you might want to try Hock or Lee Valley/Veritas blades - they come in several types for hardness and sharp edges.

Ceramic is the best! They don't get as hot to the touch. We use the 5/8 and the 3/4. We like to keep their coats a little longer.

Any double-edged blade should work. The "Feather" brand blade is my favorite, but Derby blades are also good and a lot cheaper.

I actually use the feather double edge they have done a great job for me. I have only used one other brand and they did not seem to be as sharp. I do not have a lot of experience with double edge products but think feather edge gets the job done extremely well.

any double edge blade will work,but dont buy cheapos, they only last 1 or 2 shaves,buy platinum for 10 plus shaves per blade

Personally, I use Derby Professional single edge blades. Comes in a small pack of 100 blades.
