Can I use the comb set without buying a blade?

No. The combs clip over an Andis detachable blade, which is sold separately. If you have no blade, buy the UltraEdge first.

Which gives a shorter cut, the comb set or the UltraEdge?

They match at the shortest setting. The 1/16-inch comb over a blade cuts about the same as the UltraEdge at 1/16 inch, but the combs also give you six longer lengths.

The UltraEdge. It is hardened high-carbon steel, while the combs are plastic and can crack. Steel blades still need sharpening or replacement over time.

Is the UltraEdge worth about the same price as the whole set?

Yes if your blade is dull or running hot. The cooler running and extra run time matter on long grooming sessions. If your blade is fine and you want more lengths, the set is the better buy.

Will the UltraEdge fit my clipper?

It is listed for Andis AG, AGC, AGR, DBLC, MBG, SMC, RDLC and CCA models, and one retailer lists Oster A5 and Wahl detachable clippers too. Check your model before ordering.

Do the combs fit the UltraEdge blade?

Yes. The combs fit Andis detachable blades, so they work over an UltraEdge blade on a compatible clipper.
