@@tommann1776 no problem. They did it for the die hards loke you. Thanks for watching

Thanks i totally understand. I will keep that in mind for next video. But one thing for sure the moment you put your blades on the block you will notice the difference right away. Thanks so much for the advice

keepitsharp357 No problem man! Each one teach one! & God bless you brother!

@@JayScottPoetry thanks for the respect and support

I'm a big fan of sharpie marking for my own information when doing these clipper blades, and some scissors.

Thanks for watching

Thanks. Just given out gems that was given to me. But i appreciate your kind words

Good point thanks bro

@@keepitsharp357 keep up the great videos

Your welcome. Thanks for watching

Your welcome. Thanks for watching

As long as they are the traditional blade of a comb blade and a cutter moving blade it should work

Any sharpening block will work

Home depot or Walmart

Appreciate it br

Thanks.

had me going too.

Thanks. Just trying to have fun with the family. And help people at the same time

@@keepitsharp357 Your doing a fantastic job with it all.

Your welcome thanks for watching

If you can't move blade with hand to tight..look at my detachable blades video for all other things

👍

I made an electric sharpening wheel for cheap. I will do a video on it soon. So everyone can have one

@@keepitsharp357 That will be great. So far, using this method has been working brilliant for me. I don't do human clippers...only pet clippers, but you saved me about 1500 on a machine that would just take up shop space.

Thanks so much for your kind words

Thanks so much for the compliment and for watching

I'm not wealthy but I decided to treat myself with a German Moser 1400. Not the best on the market but for me who never spent more than 30 bucks for a trimmer, getting a 75€ one was a big thing. And I love it, it's a monster and that clack sound, and kick it does when you turn it on is just music. Anyway, recently it started to pull my hair, so I cleanef it up and things got better, but I think it's time to sharpen it. As I said it was a lot of money for my pockets and I'm a bit scared to ruin it, bit I'm watching your videos and I'm starting to get more confident. Finger crossed. But if I lived in US, I'm not sure which state or city you live, you'd be my sharpener of choice, no doubt.

Try wD40. Blade boost is what i know work for sure. wD40 may help you get by so try it.

The color dont matter just mske sure its 220 grit

Ok will do

Your welcome

Your welcome. Thanks for watching. And im very thankful that im able to help you

Soon coming. Stay tuned

Yes bro I'm out her in AZ

See how it works for you. It all works it just take a few extra passes the smoother the paper. Its all good bro

Probably not

I think the video shows he has two curved sandpaper holders, I don't believe you use the bottom side. Lower number grit takes more material since it is coarser, higher number grit smooths any burrs since it is finer. I think the bottom side is there to make it multi-purpose without switching out the sandpaper for different sanding surfaces not in relation to sharpening.

Your welcome

No sir. Just enough to smooth it out. And get the burrs off. But not to much because you will flatten the hollow ground out

I forgot to ask if you could reply to the message I left above, I have a bunch of blades I need sharpen but by the time I get out of work It's to late to drop off at my sharpening guy. Thanks again for the content great video with good information.

@@jerryvargas9839 all those detachable clipper blades are hollow ground. The thing is if they are not really that bad you can sharpen them slightly flat and get the sharp edges back on the blade and be back in business. However i always recommend practicing on a old blade or two to be sure your skills are working before you do any of your good blades. Now as for hollow ground method practice that as well on and old blade or two. Get your skill down then check that tje blades are sharp and cutting. Yes they are hollow ground. Hope i helped you.

@@keepitsharp357 Thanks for the info. I do have some broken blades that dogs accidentally kicked off the table I can practice on. Keep up the good videos I will be a fan even if it doesn't have to with dog grooming. But if you know anything about k9 blow dryers I would love to learn on the regular maintenance and repair for them because once they get older they always need something. I have 3 of them, I use 2 on the regular and 1 for backup when 1 of the 2 goes down. If not I love to see a family getting involved and working together to create something good that looks like their having a good time when they are doing it . I'm a father and love spending time with my boys on projects and working together. Just want to say i think you're videos are good because they have an authentic original content that comes out of a family working together. Thanks again sorry for the long reply and let the family know the music sounds good and adds a coolness to the videos .

Thanks for your knowledge. I am thankful for sharpeners like you who shape the industry with knowledge and research. Also you are a big help to the barber community. So i am going to take everything you have said into consideration and look it over. The one thing that has helped me over the years as a sharpener is that i am a licensed working barber. I was able to test everything ive tried over the years on real hair and make adjustments accordingly. I never had to use rabbits fur. So before i give out any information ive tested myself for 6 months to a yr. All these videos are proven and tested info from me as a barber and sharpener. As people give me feed back like you just done i will make adjustments if needed. Thanks. Maximum respect to you, your knowledge and expertise.

​@@keepitsharp357 I am not a sharpener. I am a mom of 2 boys and a husband and couldn't find any professional sharpeners to sharpen my Wahl blades. The one lady I found did it but it didn't work so I got another Wahl. Now in covid I really can't find anyone. I am so blessed by these videos - you and your family are priceless and so darn cool!!! So I am NOT a sharpener but the above comment made sense to my pictoral mind. On the machine, the blade is 90 degrees to cone angle and the machine wheel spins right to left as you pull the blade from the center of the machine out to the edge and then back to the center, perpendicular to the machine spin direction. I think to duplicate this same direction and flow you need to turn the blade 90 degrees so it pulls across the width of the block, not the length. If you set the short side of the block against your belly and and the length direction goes out away from your stomach, you would move the block , as it were, right hip to left hip and start the blade at the left hip corner and move it straight out away from you as you move the block right to left across it. When you run out of block, then you put the blade in the top left corner of the block as far away from you as you can go and pull toward you as you move the block right hip to left hip across it. I have no idea if these directions make sense, but if I could draw it I think it is correct to duplicate the arc of the sanding machine and the direction it moves as you move the blade back and forth across it. You have tried your method though so even though in my mind it seems like the direction and angle is wrong somehow it works. I would be so curious if you tried my method ("if" you can understand it) if it would sharpen even better. Regardless I am trying your method till you test out Allen Marshall's idea that I riffed on. If you change your method and make a new video, I will learn from that one. Again thank you so much from my amateur family barber heart!!! Your whole family made my day today!

@@owenmccann8926 your a genius and if you feel it works try it. Im not dogmatic about what i do or teach. Results trumps everything. Try it and if you get good results great. In sharpening there is no one way. And my way i teach is not the only way. Its just a way that worked and im sharing. There are things that i could go wrong with every method i just try to share the method with less possible things that could go wrong. Give me the feed back of your method so i can tell everyone your way. And ill be sure to give you all the credit

@UCHHnEbqUmHARBFlp4WARQVg your welcome. I like to see people be innovative and try different things. Thats how we get better results and better inventions. Im not making these videos to prove nothing about me, im making thses videos to show people we can do whatever we want and anything can be done a different way. We don't have to just trust what the manufacturers or the experts in any profession say. We can always dig deeper for ourselves and find a newer or better way. Im just a regular dude with a family who just like to try stuff. I use to send my ideas to Andis, Whal, and Oster for years. They all told me to kick rocks. So i decided to just give it to people who care. I hope i motivate someone to do the same. When they do i will show case it and give them all the credit.

@@owenmccann8926 I think you are correct about turning the blade 90 degrees and the first part of your explanation is clear, but when you got to the left hip and right hip my eyes glazed over trying to visualize it. 😳 I haven’t heard if he ever tried this method but I doubt it because he apparently has success with his. However, I can’t believe both methods would work because they would produce two different grinds. Have you tried it out yourself? I sure would like to get to the bottom of this before I start sharpening.

If you master the hollow ground process then your good

Thanks for the advice and compliments to my children

Not sure but you can just Google magnets or try treyco company

Whats the name of the clipper. More than likely it an adjustment not the blade

@@keepitsharp357 it's a corded 5 star magic clip

@@keepitsharp357 if I can't fix these can you recommend a pair of new clippers thinking of the new cordless magic clip but dont know how I feel about not having a cord I like the power you get with the corded clipper I dont know if there is a difference

@@cesar-jd9go is there a way you can send a pic or the way they sound to me direct message on Instagram @keep_it_sharp. If the a power screw on the side it might just nee a slight adjustment or the magnetic motor slid over and just need to be slid back in place. Not a big issue at all but if you just want a new clipper the cordless one do have pretty good power.

@@keepitsharp357 yes

Sorry for the delay. Check Amazon put the name in and it should pop up

Do you have the machine to sharpen your own blades? Or were you sending them to someone to sharpen them for you on a machine?

Yes sir

Yes do for both

Thanks

18inches

The radius on the plate to make the blades hollow?

Sure i can if you want. Do you have a machine? Do you need help using your machine

@@keepitsharp357 yes. I have 4 machines, but I keep running into the same issues with all 4 machines. I have a 16in Nebraska, Lazer 10in, perfecto 10in (which needs a new wheel), and a foley 14in. But no matter which one I use, I always have the a hard time getting sharp the 1 1/2, 2, 3, and t-outliner trimmer blades. They always pull after I sharpen them and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I keep the wheel laced with grit every 4th blade. I keep my strokes in a consistent up and down motion. I always sharpen until both teeth and brace is shiny and has a consistent mirror finish to it with no inconsistencies. And I always demagnetize and clean the blades after sharpening. All this and I still have issues with the same types of blades in my list. Every blade outside of that list I get perfect. Please help me to understand what I'm doing wrong?

@@str8jaber ok i will help you

@@keepitsharp357 thanks a bunch.

@@str8jaber first are the plate you are sharpening with old and need to be resurfaced or they have a fairly decent surface

Which blade is it? And sometimes it takes some time and good eye and hand coordination

@@keepitsharp357 the toutliner blade.

@@obsidianbarber223 yea that blade is always the toughest to get right

@@obsidianbarber223 but its doable

@@keepitsharp357 is there a certain amount of strokes before you change the sandpaper ?

I show you how to make them. But if you really want to buy them tell me for what blade you want them for

"but" can i use the normal magnet

@@richmondwayde4376 yes you can but know that as the blades get smaller it difficult to control. Whatever works best for you is the way to go.

I agree, the method in part 1 is all that is needed the vast majority of the time. You notice the blades are recessed so that only the front and back are touching anyway, lapping flat will produce a longer lasting, sharper cutting blade. Hollow grinding will only make for less material to remove if you lap it next time? The professional rotary sharpener would have to be a part of a sphere to sharpen the blade symmetrically, and then the sides of the blades would have more pressure and there'd be a gap in the middle, not sure if that's the case or not. I like a diamond stone with soapy water, cuts so easy and fine at the same time.

@rodfreess6019 what I think it could be a good alternative, is to put some diamond paste and turn the clippers on.

True. I had to make it look real. You feel me

Be sure the cleaning process is done well. Also though there a clean shine dont always means everything is even and balanced. You have to be sure of that as well

Thanks

Thanks so much

Polishing and sharpening are 2 different things. Most clipper blades machines use 220 grit. But remember im not dogmatic about what i teach. To each is his own. Try it if those work for you great

Thanks. Out of all the sharpeners i ask to do this your the only one who did it. Gave me true feed. Im out here trying to help. And respect you as well. You are a real one. Thanks so much. Maximum respect to you

@@keepitsharp357 kind of feel like no one likes being taken to task.. Be hard on the problem not the messenger. The biggest problem is usually that most barbers know a lot that just isnt so. Part of what I do is educate. This stuff is never taught in barber school for doing basic maintenance. I end up going back and repairing a lot of clippers that they have 'tweeked' I figure they only really want one thing.. blades that cut and clippers that let them do that while keeping the heat to a minimum.

@@stevepailet8258 very true. Thats all barbers in a nutshell. You are a blessing to the barber industry. Thanks and keep up the good work

I’ll never be a barber but I’m cutting my sons hair and my wife cuts mine so this clipper and blade info is important to me! I’m a teacher and I respect those that are willing to teach others that don’t have all the information. My clippers are at the point of pulling hair so they needed more than just cleaning and this has helped me. And even though I’ll never be at the level you gentlemen are I appreciate the dialogue between professionals! Thanks for helping out the at home guy who wants to cut his sons’ hair and make sure his clippers work properly!

@@tommann1776 remember it is $5 -$$7 to sharpen a blade while you wait. $25-$40 to buy a new blade out of the package. By the time you get past the frustration of a dull blade you could have gotten it done right and be on your way for another year
