Andis do comb sets, they are dearer, and the comb teeth are plastic, which is inclined to break in a thick coat. (About £15) Each comb is a different colour, which is useful, and the comb teeth are metal, the comb spring-clips onto the clipper blade. The comb set usually recommended is made by Wahl, it has 8 different sizes in the set, and the cost is very reasonable.

The combs extend the space between the dog's body and the clipper blade, so with a set of combs of various sizes you can cut to different lengths.

The no 10 blade which is usually included with the clippers cuts very short and I only use it to remove hair between the pads and toes, however, you need this particular size blade, or a 15 to clip the combs onto.
