Honing of razor blades (1 Set) Please note! Breaking teeth are a risk during honing!

You avoid the surcharge entirely by handing in your blades properly cleaned. After every clip, brush the hair out of the blade set, wipe the grease away and store the blades dry and lightly oiled. Moisture is the main cause of rust on steel, and rust calls for extra work during sharpening. For that maintenance you will find clipper oil and a cleaning product to suit your machine in our range.

If you work with two sets, have one sharpened while you carry on with the other. That way you are never standing still during the turnaround. If you notice that the machine itself runs more slowly, gets warmer or makes more noise, the problem is not with the blades and a service check of the clipper is the right step. If your blades are heavily soiled, rusty or previously badly sharpened, also look at the page with the surcharge for dirty or damaged blades, because a surcharge per set then applies.

Choose this sharpening service as soon as you notice that clipping is getting harder: the blade set catches in the coat, you have to go over the same spot several times, or the clip looks uneven while the machine itself runs normally. The end of a clipping season is a logical moment too, so that your equipment is ready for the next time.

If the teeth of your blades have already broken off or the cutting surface is deeply damaged, sharpening makes little sense and you are better off with new blades or a new blade set from the range. If the problem lies with the machine and not with the blades, a service check of your clipper is the more suitable choice. And if your blades are dirty or rusty, bear in mind the surcharge described on the separate page.

Clean your blades yourself first: brush the hair out, wipe away grease and dirt and make sure there is no rust on them. Dirty, rusty or previously badly sharpened blades carry a surcharge per set. Bring them into the shop or send them in after getting in touch via the contact page, and allow one to two weeks.

Please note: breaking teeth remain a risk during sharpening, especially with teeth that are already weakened or damaged. You get the blades back treated with lubricant, ready to fit.

How long does it take before I get my blades back?
Count on one to two weeks. In the busy clipping season it is best to bring your blades in well in advance.

Do you sharpen blades of all makes?
Yes. We sharpen for all makes and all machines, both separate screw-on blades and complete snap-on blade sets.

Do I have to clean my blades myself before handing them in?
Yes, that is the condition. Blades that arrive dirty or rusty need extra work first and we charge a surcharge for that. Anyone who hands in clean blades avoids it.

Can I send my blades in instead of bringing them?
You can. Get in touch first via the contact page and you will receive the right shipping details.

Why is there a warning about breaking teeth?
Sharpening is work on existing material. On blades whose teeth are already weakened or damaged, a tooth can break off during sharpening. That risk remains and cannot be ruled out entirely.

Are my blades cleaned as well?
Yes, before sharpening every blade is cleaned thoroughly and checked. That does not replace cleaning them yourself, because the condition on arrival determines whether a surcharge applies.

Can I use the blades again straight away?
Yes. After sharpening, the blades are treated with a lubricant, so that you can fit them on receipt and get to work.

My machine is not running as it should either. Does sharpening help then?
Not always. Blunt blades and a machine that is itself showing wear give a similar picture. In that case, also have a service check of your clipper carried out.
