Which blade would you choose for neck shaping in a dutch clip?

• A. #30
• B. #15
• C. #5/8
• D. #10

Answer: (B)

Choosing the right blade length for neck shaping in a Dutch clip is about balancing precision and safety to create a clean neck boundary. A mid-range blade hits that balance: it trims hair enough to define a crisp line between neck and body without shaving skin or leaving a blotchy edge, which is essential for a neat, professional look in this clip. A finer blade would shave too close, risking skin irritation and an overly harsh line, while a coarser blade would leave too much length and a softer, less defined transition. So this blade gives you controlled shaping with a sharp but not aggressive boundary, and you can follow the neck’s natural curve with steady strokes to blend into the body coat.
