can you sharpen clipper blades or are they just replaced?
I bought a wahl clippers. It worked great the first couple of times now it's useless. I thought I could get the blades sharpened but that hasn't made any difference. I think I need to upgrade the clippers but do you always have to replace the blades or can they be sharpened? and how long do good ones last?

Re: can you sharpen clipper blades or are they just replaced?
I have had the same wahl blades since I bought my first set of clippers back in 2014. I clip both dogs every 6 weeks or so. Not as frequently as a groomer would, but they still needed sharpening. I used Anglia Clipper Services to have mine serviced and sharpened in 2021. Great service from them. https://www.angliaclipperservices.com/

I offer my advice freely, but I am not an expert, breeder, groomer or behaviourist. It is simply my experience of raising pups in a way that seems to make sense.

thanks Dinkum, that's really useful, so it looks like I would be wasting my time replacing the blade on my clippers and I should just upgrade the clippers since the blade should have lasted more that two hair cuts.
