greetings all,

i think i'm gonna order the Oster 78005-140 Golden A5 2-Speed Clippers

what additional size clipper blades should i purchase? i keep my poodle boy in a miami clip. What blade for body? what blade for FFT? Should i purchase a smaller clipper for FFT?

It would be nice if the moderators could post a sticky with faq about "what supplies to buy"

thanks

IMO, until you know what blades you want for sure, go with the set of wahl stainless steel snap on combs. Clippers come with a #10 blade, which can go under the snap on combs and will do fine for FFT too. As you get proficient you can buy more blades (a 4F is common for the body; short but plush. Perhaps a 15 for FFT or something too... whatever) but for starters the snap on combs (they come in a boxed set of 8 in a nice range of lengths) will set you up to get into it for one cost.
