Which blades are used on the body for Town and Country?

• A. #15, #10, #5/8
• B. #15, #10, #7
• C. #12, #9, #6
• D. #4, #5, #7

Answer: (A)

The idea is to use blade lengths that give a balanced, safe body clip with smooth blending for the Town and Country look. Mid-length blades provide enough cut to remove coat cleanly without creating harsh edges, while a 5/8 inch guard sets a comfortable, consistent body length. This combination lets you shape the torso and blend into the neck and legs without going too short, which is key for the Town and Country finish. Using very short blades would make the body too close and prone to obvious lines or skin irritation, and skipping the longer guard would reduce your ability to maintain a uniform body length and seamless transitions.
