It really comes down to preference and comfortability. CLEANING THE FUR HERO The Fur Hero will need to be cleaned after each use on your pet. Keep in mind that fur build-up can occur inside of the blade, therefore we recommend checking the blade once or twice while you are grooming your pet. REMOVING BLADE To clean the Fur Hero, you will need to remove the blade: To remove a blade from the Fur Hero, find the side of the Fur Hero that has a normal horizontal mark near the teeth of the comb. While holding upside down, Gently push underneath this horizontal line with your thumb. This pressure will unlock and slide out the comb portion of the Fur Hero, including the blade. Note that the blade will stay secure within the comb. From here, completely seperate the comb from the rest of the Fur Hero to access the blade. In the middle of the comb on the top, there is a divit for you to gently pull and seperate the comb from the blade. You can now easily clean the comb and replace a blade.
