giraffez Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Does anyone know whether i can use the oster elite clipper blades on the wahl clippers? Are the Oster elite branded blades any good? How does the Oster blades compare to the other blades? I've used wahl and andis before and i prefer the wahl competition series over the andis ones but was thinking of switching to Oster range to see whether it makes a difference.

frufru Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I Have not bought Wahl blades for over 10 years (didn't like any I tried) and only buy Oster blades. I have Wahl and Heineiger clippers and have no problems. I use both the elite and normal cryogen blades and probably actually prefer the cryogen blades - I find the elite rust easily. I notice that Wahl have bought out a new range called Ultimate Competition which supposedly cut 2 and 1/2 times faster than the Comp blades. They also say that EACH blade is hand tested before leaving the factory and is 100% guaranteed to cut. I assume this is because a lot of people were finding that they had to send new blades to be sharpened before they could use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andisa Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I use Wahl clippers and have some wahl blades but have mostly oster blades, nothing against the wahl - I just prefer the oster blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DBT Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 It doesn't matter to me where they are made , i find them to perform the best out of all the brands for my satisfaction. Even better if i can get them 1/2 price I can't stand the feel & performance of oster, whal & andis blades. Blades seem to be a lot like scissors, a personal thing.

No issue as to where they are made or the quality but it is the price of the Laube blades that highlight their excellent marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
