In this video I will show you how I strip and clean wahl senior clippers, it is amazing how they come back to life with a good clipper maintenance routine. You will see how clippers move a lot better when all the congested hair is removed.

Careful about the nut in with the level bolt goes,make sure you don't loose that,and skip the part in the beginning since you'll open it rinsing it is a bit redundant and expensive when the clippercide is £10 these days,also I'd use Andis it's exponentially better quality clippercide and lubricates more diminishing the noise aswell.other than that its a great video,thanks for your time to educate.

Compressed air would make it easier to remove debris from the cavities. Even one of those keyboard cleaner cans. Submerging clippers that are plugged into an electrical outlet would not be good. I enjoy the channel. I have been cutting my hear for about 5 years now but have learned a lot from you.

@theoneminutebarber Год назад

Since making this video I bought a compressor. What a difference it makes

@RCFlyer85 Год назад

There is no issue in submerging the blade in a wash. There's plenty of products made for just that and they all tell you to actually run the trimmers while submerged.

Great vid, thx. I have a cheap Babyliss, almost identical procedure. I suggest a small amount of silicone grease on the rotating pin and lightly oil all moving parts. The rechargeable batteries are also easy replace when they stop holding charge. If you don’t have a compressed air gun just give it a good blow to get rid of the stuff the brush doesn’t reach.

@theoneminutebarber 7 месяцев назад

Silicone grease is a great shout. I also use it.

So I was at a hairdresser supplier and the old guy told me that if you buy the dog clippers by Wahl they’re exactly the same but just branded for pets. I still have them to this day and they were the best value for money for clippers! I have a newer set now but the old ones are still functioning perfectly. All Mains powered, easy to fix, simple design.

Personally I would disassemble the ergo's and throw them straight in the bin. I had a set that lasted three months. The magnetic motor lost the power to move the blade. Messaged stylecraft about it, they weren't interested and quite patronising.

Great video. Forgot the lube. Light layer of high viscosity grease between the blades and a couple of drops of clipper oil right on the blades while clippers are running. The high viscosity grease will ensure the longevity of the clippers. Whenever the clippers start running hot, it's time to clean and lube.

I wasted so much $$ on new clippers these past few yrs from 2018 to 2023 on new babyliss,Gamma,SC,Cocco,Caliber,Oster and honestly I end up going back to whats works better and easier and even BETTER yes I said it Wahl makes better clipper now I do agree on using other trimmer for diff type of hair or beard but when its come to cutting hair I stick with wahl (Senior and Magic clip) its those blades that makes the cut easier and better plus the guard from wahl are 100% better than all those new brand that keep coming out

I got some Wahl with a lever (not the senior but some other model), but whener I try to tighten the screws after aligning the blades, the blades misalign and then I get this super noisy rattling sound. My housemate came out of his room thinking someone rang the door when I tried lol

@theoneminutebarber 8 месяцев назад

The rattling can be because the lever screw needs to be a little tighter. For the blade screws tighten them a little each. A little on one and a little on the other and so on until they are both tight.

@guillermoalonso1275 8 месяцев назад

@@theoneminutebarber Thanks Michael! Gave it a try and seems to be doing better. Also discovered that my model has a screw on the opposite side of the lever, which seems to somehow regulate the angle at which the inner blade moves with respect to the outter, fixed one (if that makes any sense). Fiddled with it a bit and I think I got the clipper back to a working state. Cheers!

@rd2fades121 2 года назад

Would you say the shorter you go on thinning hair the thicker it looks or the longer it is the thicker it looks or just in the middle not long but not short

@theoneminutebarber 2 года назад

Getting the balance right on thinning hair is important, so many guys think keeping it long will cover thinning areas, but in actual fact it draws attention to hair Los as there isn't enough body for the hair to lay normally and you need to use the lightest of product. I'd say it's better to be closer to short than long in most cases as hair begins to go.

@Vuino 2 года назад

Hey Michael I hope you ok I would like to ask you if there's a chance of using the #6 instead of the #4 and trimming the top hair tips so it looks fresher. Instead of going with the grain going against. Merry X-mas

@theoneminutebarber 2 года назад

Yeah that will work but it will take the hair to the exact length of the #6 guard on top if you go against the grain. A #4 with the grain will cut longer. It will reduce the density that the hair sits from the scalp when lying flat.

Is WD40 fine to use for what the Clippercide is used in this video?

@theoneminutebarber 2 года назад

Chris I'm not too sure, if it's domestic use it's probably ok I'd say as long as you are not letting the bare blade touch the skin, the reason I say that is I don't know anything about the safety of wd40 on something like a weeping spot, or if a misaligned blade caused an abraision. That said clippercide and WD 40 will probably be comparable in price. Clippercide is really cheap stuff a can normally last for months, I get easily two thousand disinfections from one can.

@InstantKaarma Год назад

@baklash6079 Год назад

No. WD40 is good to displace water, but is not a good lube.

@pentachronic Год назад

No. It will stink for starters and secondly it’s not meant as a lubricand but as a water repellent. Use clipper oil or a very light oil.

@pentachronic Год назад

@mickbroad2059 Год назад

Bathing the unit is superfluous if you are going to take it apart and instead of prodding about get yourself a good air mains air duster and check the pressure of the armature will help.....re assemble set blades and oil well.

@theoneminutebarber Год назад

Mick I've actually obtained a compressor since making this video. It's been a great investment

@mickbroad2059 Год назад

@@theoneminutebarber Hi and thanks for the reply I bet the compressor has saved you lots of work and time plus cleaner parts as hair get everywhere.....Cleaning and maintenance is always a good policy with most things. To really do a good job on them would be to hand sharpen the blades a specific way, then strip it down and get to the armature and set the tension on it because if too slack results in poor cutting performance plus dragging the hair....too much and he blades will heat up and may stop so it is important that you get it right this one thing will make all the difference to the unit. Regards Mick

@theoneminutebarber Год назад

That clipper is one of the best and really should cut hair well. How's the zero gap? Does it cause redness on soft skin? You can almost move the the bottom blade forward a tiny amount with the seniors and they are still extremely close. The blade should last a couple of years even with heavy use. Make sure you spray the clipper on every use to keep it moving fast and clean.
