I have been using the Wahl Bravura 5 in 1 to groom Cleo (a 9-month-old standard). I like that it's cordless, quiet, lightweight, and has a long battery life. But the blades have to be replaced frequently. I've used (at shortest trim) the 3/8" comb for the body, and that worked pretty well (though sometimes it gets caught and pulls off when i'm doing the longer parts of the legs).
I'm interested in maybe adding a 7f and 5f, to get a nicer finish. And, I'd like something different for the feet to help me get between the toes more easily. For the latter, i looked at the mini bravura, but it's a 30 blade and right now i use a 10 on her feet. I think i'd go for a 15 before a 30. She sometimes has sensitive feet.
Do i need to get a new clipper and some individual f-blades in order to make these things happen? The only "fine" blade i see for the Bravura is another 5 in 1 with the same 9, 10, 15, 30 and 40 settings--or do i use that fine 5 in 1 blade with the usual metal combs in order to accomplish a fine finish?
And for the feet, am i better off with a mini bravura or similar, or should i get a new clipper that allows a toe-blade attachment--which i'm guessing won't work on the Bravura because i haven't seen it offered?
Finally, i have a diamond 5-in-1, but i'm not sure what to use it for vs the regular coarse 5-in-1?
All advice/info welcome!
