How to sharpen your clipper blades

I just saw a video of a barber explaining how to sharpen your clipper blades. To be honest with you I had to laugh. He may have known how to cut hair but He didn't know a thing about how a blade is sharpened.
A clipper blade must be hollow ground and with the right grit #. Get any of these wrong  and you have a blade that won't cut. I receive blades all the time that people have tried to sharpen themselves or sent to there local sharpener. I get them then because they won't cut.
You will save yourself money and stress if you have your blades sharpened by a professional clipper blade sharpener.
Take a look at this page http://www.clipperbladesharpening.net/dog_clipper_blades.html to see if your blades can still be sharpened.

Clipper blade tip

It is that time of year again, were it is getting hotter every day. This leads

me to a tip for your clipper blades. 

 

The hotter your blade gets the more it will not cut right. Keeping your blades

cool while grooming will keep your clipper blades sharper longer.

 

Clipper blades are honed with a hollow ground edge designed to keep your blade

cool. When they get hot they tend to lose there edge allowing the hair then to

get between the blades.

 

Keep your blades cool by switching out blades or lay them on aluminum. Using

cool lube will help lessen the friction on your blades.

Keeping Clipper blades cool

Make sure to keep your blades oiled while grooming. This keeps the friction down and will make your blade and clipper run cooler.

Friction is what makes your blades and clippers get hot. When oiling blades keep this in mind. Wherever you have 2 parts rubbing each other you need oil (for blades) on clippers (use grease).
