[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1666120, member: 24016"] In short- Dirt. Any grime, dander, dust are hard on blades. The best thing you can do is keep them well oiled during use, switch out blades as soon as they start to get dull, and if possible, clean the animal's hide a bit prior to clipping (even hitting the branding area with a hair blow dryer works better than nothing). Aside from that, keep blades oiled when not in use, find a good sharpening service, and have your clipper gone over occasionally, even if you only use it once or twice a year (if the control arms are even a bit out of whack, you will go through blades way faster than normal). And as mentioned above, keep the clipper and its cord clean when not in use and don't wind or sharply bend the cord for storage. [/QUOTE]
