Did anyone else have issues with fur getting caught in these? I keep having to remove them to remove the fur from the comb. Using Andis +Ultraedge #10

I use them on my Golden Retriever and am very pleased with the stainless steel vs the plastic combs I used for years. Because of my very furry, long-haired dog, I always need to remove and clean between the #10 and comb -- I can't imagine being able to trim with removable combs without hair becoming caught; only a permanently attached comb and blade would prevent this.

on a couple of my combs i had to bend the teeth in a bit to keep them from sticking out farther than the sides of my clipper blade. that fixed that problem for me. just be careful not to bend it too forcefully, and bend it at the base of comb. i am using them with a 30 blade. not sure if that would make a difference.

I work in a grooming salon and all of my coworkers use a #30 blade with their clip combs. Between using the correct blade and brushing the dog out to make sure there are no matts you should have less problems.

Sorry. I use them for human hair. If it helps, human hair gets stuck in them, too.

If the fur is getting caught in the comb, then you will need to brush the dog out before clipping. I just did 5 poodles, and had no problem.

Hmmm, I have never had that happen. There is no coating or protective layer on blades that I know of, and I have been using these blades for almost 20 yrs. Is the dogs hair extremely dirty/oily?, thats all I can think of.

i have never owned the Andis #65785 all I can say is these #21485 are quiet and work sooooo great on my long haired cats, they don't mind and the one old (15 years) is afraid of everything! I have tried some other clippers and she won't let me get close because of the noise and theothers that i have owned don't shave the soft fine fur, they just get stuck in it.

Mine are on stuck on fairly permanently, but that's because I cleaned the surface area really well and made sure it was absolutely dry before application. Not sure how they're going to come off, but I imagine I'll have to take a razor blade or putty knife to scrape them off when the time comes. Plus, they've stayed fairly clean since I've had them. Barely noticed in tub.

:) You have opposite problem I had, I couldn't get them out sometimes so had to ties a shourt string onto them. (Wearing inside a helmet). I have no suggestions.

I only shake them a bit after using and do pull out hairs that have "stuck" (which happens very infrequently). I have been using my latest one for 14 years with no problems!

I had mine come off a couple of times, but was because the grip inside of the comb came off. For the most part it stays on with my curly hair.

I used a detangler on them and nothing happend it helped with the tangles, i do recall washing them with a very little bit or conditioner and it somewhat helped as well

My dog is 1 yr old. Breed is an Aussiedoodle which has long fur. She has had no issue. If your dog is short hair it might be uncomfortable. I usually use warm water which might soften the bristles. A couple things to be sure and do is don't squeeze the paw as you plunge and don't force the paw down mashing it on the bottom of the container. This is easy to do. I hold the paw stationary and go up and down with ten paw plunger.

I've them a few months and the bristles are still intact. It seems to me that bristles coming out - and on the first day - is neither normal or acceptable. I have a quite old (and cheap) bristle brush with the bristles being pushed back into the brush, as if whatever's holding them to the base has let go - but they do not fall out, even if the brush is somewhat useless now because only the topmost part of the bristles show. However, the Spornettes are fine and seem quite sturdy.

I don't know but it has not happened to me. Only the comb part fills up and you just tap it out. I hope this helps and Merry Christmas.

I am currently trying to use a razor blade and having a heck of a time. Didn't think of Betty Lou's suggestion of alcohol -- will try that next and report if it worked. Just to add, I had no trouble getting them to stick and am only removing them because, after three years, the is visible dirt around the circumference that I cannot clean. Very pleased with them, and will be even more pleased if alcohol removes them!

Im so sorry its taken me so long to reply! Ive been having trouble with my phone! But to answer your queastion, they just slide right out when you pull them dow gently through the hair. My daughter loves her's and we hav'nt had any problembs getting them out at all. You do have to watch streatching the jrwels,they sreatch easy is i think what keeps them from getting caught in your hair and ripping it out. And amozon has the best price! I searched thouroughly before i ordered it and the gem replacements are a great deal to. But we've had her's for nearly a year and hav'nt had to replace them yet. I hope that i've helped you. If you have any more questions i will be happy to help and much quicker! Lol Tammy M

I could not get the Andis comb set #12860 to fit my AGC2. The combs attachment area is a good 3/8" too short for the #10 blade Do you have a different comb set, Granny C?

I have that problem too! What I have done is run hot water over the underside of them and stretch them out while the water is running... But, once they're cold again they pop off...But, sometimes they will stay on...Just not very often... I'm glad I'm not the only one having problems with them. Wish I could find the right sized ones... I have 3 different sized dog and cat food cans..

The biggest pain was washing them - we kept a bucket of water and dropped the soiled ones in, then machine washed inside out with velcro fastened. Eventually, we went to baby disposable diapers and cut a hole for the tail. Had to pin those shut though. The things we do for our fur-babies!

I don't know, however I don't why you couldn't use them , as the have quite a few different size blade combs. I am still trying to get used to them, however my Mini Schnauzer is not the least bit afraid of them which is a plus. It really isn't a big investment so if you do get them you won't feel to bad about buying them. You can not cut the skin or anything with them . They are safe..
