Which clipper blade size produces the shortest cut?

The clipper blade size that produces the shortest cut is size 0000. This size is designed to cut hair very close to the scalp, typically leaving just a very small amount of hair. It is often used for fade cuts or very short hairstyles where the hair needs to be trimmed extremely close.

Clipper sizes generally start from larger numbers that leave more hair (like size 1) to smaller numbers that leave less hair (like sizes 00 and 000). As the number decreases, the length of the hair left after cutting decreases as well. Therefore, size 0000 stands out as the blade that provides the closest cut, making it the ideal choice for achieving a clean and sharp look.
