Electric Hair Clipper Oil

For everything to go smoothly, we must take good care that the machine, if it is one of the professionals, is greased. Every one or two months it is important to add a drop so that the blades have the best possible effect.

Another important point is that the blades are well clean, so it is highly advisable that we disassemble them before proceeding to the cut itself. The cheap ones usually have a cleaning set in the form of a kind of small brushes that greatly facilitate the work.

With regard to oil, normally in the machine instructions comes the way to apply it and if that type of machine really needs it. As I have said, not all of them are of the same quality, so their maintenance depends on several factors. The professionals do have to apply a drop of oil.

Before going to this step we must have the blades perfectly clean, so it is important that we go over a few minutes leaving her as if we had taken it out of its box for the first time.

When we have applied the dropletNow we must turn on the machine for about 20 seconds so that it is properly greased and ready to go on cutting the hair.

    Late but my opinion goes: I have 4 years shaving my head.

    1. I do it every two days, if it is warranted before, I will do it again.
    2. I always do it backwards and forwards
    3. When I don't have cream I just use soap
    4. I am never irritated
    5. Yes I have had my accidents, but they are minimal.
    6. It is a pleasure to be bald, and that I have hair.

    I shave the sides of my head since I decided to make a mohawk, but my problem is the following, is using a common razor (like Gillette) okay or should I use an electric razor? I have no problem using the Gillette but it is somewhat complicated and slow

    I do not advise buying the remington machine, I had problems from the first day, with the power (very low) and an important piece of plastic broke (quite flimsy). If you are going to use it for life, spend the money. From 45 euros. Braun is safe shot. A bald friend

    I tend to shave my head, when I do it every two days it flows much better, when for some reason it doesn't and I take more days, first with the peeling machine and after shaving. MNe love it, I'm doing well. Also, I really do shave my entire body.
