The Andis 72625 UltraEdge size 4 skip-tooth blade is a detachable grooming head for the first stage of removing bulk from a heavy coat. It leaves approximately 3/8 inch, or 9.5 mm, and is intended for rough cutting before a separate finishing blade is used to refine the result.

The alternating tooth arrangement helps feed dense coat into the cutting area. Andis specifically identifies thick or matted fur among the applications for this initial grooming step. The blade's skip-tooth pattern is therefore an important selection detail alongside the stated cutting length.

The blade uses specially treated steel to support edge retention, with a chrome finish that helps resist rust and corrosion. Select the full 72625 reference when matching this size 4 skip-tooth configuration to a compatible detachable-blade clipper.

Keep the assembly maintained by brushing away loose hair and lubricating the cutting surfaces according to Andis instructions. Wipe off excess oil and inspect the teeth during cleaning. A damaged blade should be replaced, and declining cutting performance should be assessed before continuing. The 9.5 mm specification describes the cut length; the skip-tooth design defines its bulk-removal role.
