Can you use the clipper to cut around ears and back of neck, or do you need to buy the Oster finisher shaver too ?

The #0000 blade width is 1.75" (bought separately). The # 000 width is 1 11/16" and the #1 is 1 15/16" both come with the clipper. Because of the large width of the blades it could be real awkward to use around the ears on a regular hair cut or mustaches. As for the neck and sideburns no problem even as a liner. Hope this is helpful

I use it that way and scissors to clean up any areas that May need to be attended to But I notice Some barbers use a finish clipper

i use only one blade for all my haircuts ,and that`s the blade marked " 0000 " . It cuts very close, but dose not nick or catch skin . I guess you could call my haircut the " skin head look "

I used it around the ears and back of neck. However, I feel that the finisher shaver would have been easier to use. The clippers are cumbersome and I had to go around the ears very carefully.

I would go for a smaller trimmer version, this one is more suited for clipping the body just b/c of the width of the blade. I have a giant schnauzer with huge feet and it was wider than I would like to trim his feet just b/c it was hard to get the blade head between his pads.

This Razor is good and will not cut you but it doesn't cut s close as a razor blade or a foil shaver. I would prefer a trimmer with a wider blade to trim the back of my neck, to keep a straight line. I hope this helps.

This clipper is really designed for finish work, trimming neck line, around ears and sideburns. Sure you can cut longer hair using the guides but this isn't really the workhorse for this job. The thicker the guide, the longer the cut length. If you need to know the exact cutting length go to a beauty supply store to compare with the other guides that are marked. I'd start with the thickest guide first run it through the hair on back on neck & if that isn't short enough try the size next to first & so on.

Yes, in my opinion it's way better. I have both a T-blade and a square blade and I prefer using the T-blade for my mustache (around the lips) as well as for around my ears. The shape of the blade itself seems better suited for areas like that where you have to cut around a curvey places.

If you are looking for a razor close the answer is no. It comes with a 1 guide which is 1/8 inch without the guide on the clipper is sharp and will not glide smooth across your head. Also, the 3 guide broke in my set but otherwise the clipper is fantastic and I would still recommend to friends.

Yes you would need regular clippers. I use these for lining up my beard and as well as my hairline.I would advise you to only use these to bald out do line ups and beard trimming for I cut myself the first time using them .

Jodi: I had purchased a Wahl Pro several years ago and still had the attachments that allow for various depths of cuts. I use those on both dog and horse. If I want to just trim and not get too close, I use the appropriate "clip-on attachment". You may want to browse the clippers and see which ones come with the clips of various depths. Hope that helps.

Well, if you're going to groom all the way down and leave just short hair then you can use this Oster A5, or thin with grooming shears. I use combs that attach to the A5. They attach to the blade and limit the length of hair that is cut. Look online for instructions for grooming your Lhasa Apso will give you an idea of the type of what equipment you will need. And lots of rest stops and maybe not getting it all done at one time. Sometimes I just do one side at a time. But patience is the key to any grooming! Good luck!

Wahl clippers are good for shaving the head. They also work on hairline cutting and line work on the beard. Clipper is about 2 inches wide, so not ideal for small, close patterns.

I'm not sure it is standard for all the clippers, but I am not sure that the razor is indeed a clipper. Might want to contact Oster directll.

The shaver does not have the attachment for trimming ear and nose hairs. But I purchased a small nose and ear hair trimmer from Amazon that works wonderful and it was very inexpensive.

I really don't know. I use the fine blade on my poodles faces. It shaves very close, it would work to shave the back of the neck after the haircut.

Yes, its good for trimming small areas, its smaller than your normal size trimmer, which makes it easy to get around the ears and edging.

I would recommend you contact Oster as I know of none. They are a great company, make a great product and can only guess there are models that have what ever you want. If you want longer hair on some parts of the animal, it is so smooth running and easy to control that am sure someone with a little barbering skill could do so without adding an attachment. Good luck to you, it is also a great price here. Bill

Yes, most definitely. I have Oster and Andis clippers. Also nice to wipe down scissors with. I have a dog boarding kennel and groom; and I've used this product for years. They also have a spray that is excellent.

This is a barbershop grade trimmer, not a clipper. Barber trimmers don't have attachments (aka guards) because they are not intended to cut length. The trimmer is specifically for lining up the edge of your hairline/beard and removing fine hairs.
