moser arco cordless clippers
Hi all. Very excited to get the moser arco clippers yesterday. I have a question regarding blade size. The moser blade is adjustable and has three main settings marked i,ii,iii, with a couple of unmarked settings in between. It says if using the comb attachments ensure you are on position i. What sizes are these settings equivalent too? When watching videos they talk about 7f, 10 and such like and i dont know how this relates to the moser. I need to know what setting i need to have it on to do hair between paws, butterfly and sanitary, cheeks and neck, ears. The rest i am stripping or scissoring. I have never used clippers before so please excuse if this is a dumb question. I wanted to practice on the hubby first but for some reason he refused!

Re: moser arco cordless clippers
I've just got the same clippers but just keep messing about trial and error no idea about 7fs.
My son was more than willing to let me try them out on him as he said I wasn't cutting it short enough with scissors at the back. Hubby was desperate for a cut but couldn't get hair appointment so asked if I'd do it. I said yes if I can use my new clippers. He said no way. Guess who got to use new clippers on hubby too

Re: moser arco cordless clippers
Thank you both. Very helpful. I love how quiet they are. Herbie thinks theyre a great toy! But ive managed to do the butterfly in 5 secs. How brill. Jo, im persevering with the stripping of the head too as i dont want it to grey. He has no wire there at all yet but hes only a pup so we will see how it goes. The beauty of doing this yourself is you can take your time. No need to stress yourself or the dog. I really love it and hope i can make him look helf decent. X

Re: moser arco cordless clippers
I ve been happy to clip the head 2.5 years,but have just started to see these white head hairs peppering in...
My finest knife ( specifically for head and ears)is pulling the head hair ,like fluff...it's not wire here yet but I will persevere....If it still grows in with white hairs I will go back to clippers here,but I think it will revert.

Re: moser arco cordless clippers
The "butterfly" as i understand it, is the white patch directly below the tail and the butt. On a black and silver dog it is seen as white and is kind of butterfly shaped. Im not sure how or if you even need to identify it on the other colours. I guess on those colours there will still be a difference between that bit of fur and the coat coming round from the hind quarters. For stripping purposes, black and silver is easy to follow. Strip the black bits and clip or scissor the rest. Thats the theory anyway. Im a complete novice and have to learn all these skills.
