What blade size can be used under a comb attachment? (2024)

All universal comb attachments by any brand will fit on any brand of standard size 10 blade. Most professional clippers come with a 10 blade included free.Most comb attachments also fit on size 30 blades. Some also fit size 15 blades.

Always check the product packaging or theproduct description on our website to make sure you have the right blade for the comb attachment. Avoid using the wrong blade size under a comb attachment or it may damage or break teeth off your blade, or the blade may cause damage to the comb attachment.

If less experienced, we recommend usinga 10 blade under a comb attachment. This is because if the comb is not fitted correctly, and comes loose during use and hits the teeth of your blade, the longer, thicker teeth of a 10 blade are less likely to break or be damaged by the comb attachment - compared to the finer, smaller, shorter teeth of a size 15, and even finer on a 30 blade.

If experienced, a 30 blade used under a comb attachment will give you the smoothest result for less tidy-up at the end of the groom.
