MalteseLuna Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 HI everyone, I am just wondering if come experienced people could give me some advice concerning the care and storage of my clipper and blades? I recently bought a Wahl KM-2 with #4F, #10 and #30 blades. How should I protect my clipper blades from rust and keep them in top-condition? Should I get a blade wash? I have a can/bottle of "shaver guard" from the shaver shop but am unsure if it's suitable for this sort of clipper. Do I need to oil them after cleaning them with a blade wash? Also should I get a blade caddy or box for storing the blades? I recently clipped down my parent's old Shih tzu cross and it was awesome - though I am still learning the basics it sure beats the old el-cheapo clipper my parents had (we got it from K-mart about 10 years ago).

poodle3081 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) I would not bother with blade wash. Wash the blades in Metho then dryer them and apply a generous amount of clipper oil.

Everythings Shiny Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Does the instruction manual have any blade care instructions? I found some brands of blades required a slightly different clipper oil recipe than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
