I am confused about the comb attachments numbers.
My understanding is the higher the number the shorter the cut.
I am using 5 in 1 Wahls - arco (trimmer) & bravura (clipper).
The plastic comb attachments seem to show longer lengths with higher numbers in that they have longer combs.
Shouldn't it be the reverse?
The plastic comb attachments came in sizes 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8.
The attachment guide shows 1, 2, 3, 4, A, C, E & O - I don't have the letters
The #2 plastic seems to match with the #4 metal I bought.
We keep her short so even if I mess up a few months with a real groomer will be ok but I wanted to experiment with the comb lengths. I started with the #4 which went ok. I think she gets groomed with a #6 though.
Also, why is it recommended to set the clipper at 30 when using comb attachments?
Thanks for an explanation.
