Oster Blade Lube 4oz


Keep the Clipper Blades Lubrcated for Extra Blade Life
It pays to keep your clipper blades lubricated "after" you have cut hair and are preparing to store your clippers. Put a small amount of the Oster Clipper Blade Lube/Oil on the blades and then turn the clippers on for a few seconds to spread the oil over all the blade surface. The oil will cling to the surface and keep your blades from rusting or pitting until your ready to use the clippers again. The "lack" of lubrication allows the blades to pit and/or rust, causing the blades to pull or pinch the hair on your next hair clipping procedure. The bottle has a large quantity of Lube/Oil at a very reasonable price. Protect your clipper investment.
Why mess with oil you can't trust
People are always looking to cheap out on oil for their hair clippers. Well recently I got a Classic 76 which was $100 so I decided not to mess around with products I don't trust. If I trusted oster that their $100 clipper is better than a $20 clipper, and it is, why would I not trust that their oil is also better if they say it is.

People on the internet will tell you to do all kinds of things to cut corners. I actually read people frequently telling others to use vegetable oil. That will absolutely destroy your clipper motor. Run your finger over the hood of your stove. Feel how sticky it is? That's vegetable oil.

For clippers, you need a low viscosity oil. And it needs to be ultra refined because clippers have a very high degree of vibration and friction when the blade rubs against itself.

Would I trust 3 in 1 or WD40 on a $500 power tool? Yes, because power tools are built to take abuse and have mostly permanently lubed bearings.

But...
Big supply of lube oil
This 4 ounce bottle of lubricating oil will go a very long way. I use about 4 or 5 drops per use of my clippers. At that rate, this will last for years.

This type of lubricating oil is needed to coat the blades of hair clippers. Otherwise, the blades rust quickly and can be relatively expensive to replace. A little prevention saves a lot of trouble.

The way to apply this product is to place 4 or 5 drops on the clipper blades after use. Then wipe or swab the blade and put the clippers away until their next use.
