I'll look around some more and hopefully find something.

Strangely enough, the blades are already VERY sharp, and I haven't even cleaned them up on a hone yet.
There is literally ZERO pulling at...

What should I use as a lubricant for the blades? There is blade lube on Oster's website for about $3 but anywhere I look to actually buy the stuff has it for around $20 :/

Ah, maybe it's just the Oster ones that only fit on one way? There is literally only one way to put them together with no room for adjusting the alignment of the blades (kind of fool-proof I guess),...

In regards to sharpening the blades....there should be no issues with them not lining up after I take them to a hone (just a little bit to clean them up and remove a tiny bit of rust) because of how...

What's the best product to use as lube for clipper blades? I've heard of people using sewing machine oil, mineral oil, baby oil...I know some will break down and gunk up and some aren't good for skin...

Just got my hand clippers in today and have set to work on my restore job! should I post the results in this thread or should I make a new thread in the restorations section?

After some investigating, I would have to agree that they are self sharpening, especially if they are Oster clippers. As long as you keep them clean and oiled, they will stay sharp.

I'm actually most surprised that someone as knowledgeable as yourself was not already aware that most clippers and scissors of high quality are in fact self...

I did some research, here's a real answer for anyone interested:

Do I sense sarcasm good sir?
Is this not a place dedicated to a classic means of personal grooming?
Some would argue that shaving with a straight razor is an "antique" way of shaving.
Matt Raine...

I wonder, could you just send your clippers to someone to have them sharpened lol

Any idea how you'd go about maintaining/replacing a head? The ones that Matt Raine (aka Mr. Natty) uses are self sharpening.
He said his date to the first world war and that they were used in the...

They look quite neat! Maybe my girlfriend will buy me one for my birthday :hmmm:

Yes :l...I have an electric too but I think the point of this place is to get back to a more classic means of personal grooming lol
I'm a fan of anything that Mr. Natty (aka Matt Raine) uses or...
