MARS COAT KING
I want to buy a Mars Coat King, but I noticed they come with different numbers of blades. How many blades do you all use on your little ones?
Hugs, Cathy and the Midwesties ^~^

Re: MARS COAT KING
I think most people recommend the 16 for terriers. I also have the 12 for doing furnishings, but I seldom use it.

Re: MARS COAT KING
We have the 16 which is what we were told is good for the terriers. We are planning on getting the smaller one-12 for sort of trimming. When you price them check the Col. Potter store, I found their's to be the cheapest at the time I bought ours. Pat - Zip & Joey & Sean's Mom

Re: MARS COAT KING
Mars is a useful tool for removing undercoat, but it does cut the top coat which is what you don't want on a Cairn. Cutting the coat makes it grow in soft. I use a Mikki stripper for the top coat and occasionally use my Oster, which is a cheaper version of a Mars in between strippings.

Re: MARS COAT KING
What is a Mikki stripper? How does it differ from the Mars? Thanks Benny

Re: MARS COAT KING
Mikki strippers are made in Scotland. I bought mine from a Canadian breeder. They are hand strippers that are wider..fit in the hand better at least for me. They are not a rake like a Mars coat king..
