Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this for my long-haired cat. He gets mats in his fur and I wanted to be able to give him a trim without scaring him with an electric shaver and scissors just don't cut it (pun slightly intended). I picked this one because of its simplicity and price. I have to say that it does a fair job. It does tend to get clogged with his soft, fine hair after only a couple of strokes, but it's easy to unclog with your fingers. Some hair gets wedged between the teeth and the razors, and that requires the removal of the cover, which is also easy. The cover slides right up and you can take it off and remove/replace/clean the razor blades. Then, you can put it back on and it slides right back down if the blades are aligned properly. The wider teeth are better for removing a lot of hair quickly, and they are easier to unclog; the thinner teeth are more difficult to unclog, but they don't remove as much hair, and the blades are further from the end of the teeth (which feels safer in sections where his hair is thin or close to his skin). It's actually pretty cool to hear it slicing through the hair, and my cat isn't bothered by it--actually, he kind of likes it. All-in-all, it's a simple and effective product at a good price.
