What blade size is similar to the #14 blade but larger, for tougher skin such as on the back or scalp?

• A. #10
• B. #11
• C. #15
• D. #3

Answer: (A)

The idea is that blade sizes share the same shape but differ in how large they are. For tougher skin, you want a larger blade with the same geometry as the #14 so it can cut a bigger area more easily and with less resistance. The larger general‑purpose blade that keeps that same shape is ideal for thicker tissue like on the back or scalp, giving you more cutting edge and control without having to force through the skin. Smaller or more pointed blades are better for precision or delicate work, so they’re not the right fit for thicker areas.
