Looks like tons of people experienced problems reassembling the shaver. Great that this video showed how it's done in full.

[@mattl3023]

I took my clipper apart and cleaned out the hair. When I put it back together, the cutters rattled and buzzed loudly but wouldn't cut. After trouble-shooting for more than 20 minutes, I came here to find out what was going on. I finally saw you put the spring back and I thought, 'Spring? What spring? Then, I looked in the bin next to me and saw a spring that had spung out while I was taking it apart. Five minutes later (and two zaps since I had the back off and the clipper still plugged in!) I had it back together and humming smoothly, ready for my next haircut. Thank you, sir!

[@theoneminutebarber]

Im glad you found the answer

[@Nas2k41]

I have a Wahl model which is almost 20 years old and this is the best way to maintain your machines 👍

[@ricoviselli]

I just cleaned my clippers. the clippers now cut and sound like new. Who knew? Thanks for the vid!

[@sandrovieira5772]

I was about to buy another one... Just did the same thing on my clipper and working a lot better... Thanks for this video... Very Useful this kind of Stuff Saver me.some cash today 👍🏿💪🏿

[@hanswurst7319]

Very helpful indeed, thank you. As a lover of accents I also get treated to some very lovely Scottish, thanks again. Who new, you google clipper maintennace and some music to your ears comes along with it.

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]

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

[@RCFlyer85]

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.

[@dadcraft64]

Excellent video, well explained. it helped me heaps to give maintenance to my Wahl clipper in just a few minutes

[@theoneminutebarber]

Glad it helped😀

Je pensais qu'il faudrait éguiser les larmes, mais juste tout nettoyer est suffisant ! Merci beaucoup vidéo très utile 👌🏽

[@terrydonovan7982]

I use my Remington on myself only. I only take it apart at the 2 bottom screws to sharpen with a stone. Especially if it is starting to tug. I learned here about offsetting the teeth a millimeter or so.

[@wwhb4780]

Hey, thanks! I wondered if it can be done. I sharpen everything in the house, from the scythe to the kitchen knives.

[@tumawiperi916]

I use a heat torch to dry the hair, then use a can of compressed air to blow it out, works a dream

[@LucaMu]

The only bit that stressed me tf out was putting it back together! But seriously, no need to watch any other video. Thanks dude

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you 🙏

[@roybatty2030]

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]

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

[@iblendallday]

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.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you and that’s good advice on the Andis lubricant I’ll get some to try

[@pentachronic]

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.

[@pentachronic]

This was 20+ years ago.

[@theoneminutebarber]

That doesn’t surprise me at all. In fact if you want to buy Andis blades in the uk it’s a dog grooming company that sells them.

[@jeffs.3533]

Kudos to you for filming this. Super helpful. Thanks!

could’ve took the blade off to begin with, then hit it w an air compressor 😭

Ideally you want a bit of oil on the plates that rub against each other. I did that on mine and there’s practically no noise when the run. Smooth as silk.

Fantastic video, thank you so much, I wanted to see it before I took my Wahl apart, works like a charm now.

[@theoneminutebarber]

You're welcome!

[@suficer7827]

Cheers. Those springs got me a little, as I took the 1st piece of one of them went into the side hole. I heard one go and thought the other came OUT of the other whole in the side, so I when I was putting it together again I kept putting the springs into those holes which was hard and never sounded great after lol. Thanks to this I found out neither go into them and was doing it all wrong on that part. Stupid me.

[@YGP64]

Please do this for all clippers? You could make a series! I would love to know how to fully disessemble and clean my xErgos as easily as you showed us.

[@theoneminutebarber]

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.

[@glitterpenguin]

@The One Minute Barber is it possible to do a video for the BaByliss Lo-Pro FX? For both trimmer and clipper please 😇 I'm terrified to take them apart cos I don't want to ruin them 😭

[@barber_andii413]

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

[@theoneminutebarber]

Wahl seniors are definitely the best. I also have magic clips but don’t like them so much.

[@liamrafferty7063]

I just cleaned mine. Haven’t used it in 3 years. More of a decoration now. That sliding clip most certainly didn’t stop my moving blade from being flung at my nose 😂

[@theoneminutebarber]

😮hope you were ok?

[@xanderwymer]

An Excellent Tutorial ! Thank you!

[@anthonyartol5]

In terms of the skilled labor cost, it is nonsense. Fun is priceless!

[@CK-gd6mz]

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.

[@theoneminutebarber]

thats an excellent tip

[@Takaisalive]

Oddly satisfying, and I know you know which part it was 😌

[@chuck1804]

That clipper had hair in places most clippers don't even have places!

I use a leaf blower to clean out the hair inside the clipper.

You also forgot to mention putting the blade back on not to turn it into a motorized razor blade I’ve done that before trying to get zero gap there is a nice gash on my ear.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you 😁

[@rrekeitebetse6936]

Was the bathing necessary if the next step is to deassemble

[@theoneminutebarber]

Not if you are going to take the blade off anyway. That said it takes time to do that so not ideal in the middle of a busy day, but it will decongest the blade in a rush.

[@SaraBhatti-rm5en]

Very good 👍

[@williamzetina3056]

How often should this be done to the clippers?

[@theoneminutebarber]

Ideally I’d say once a month. I now use an air compressor and clippercide as a minimum. Blade off and decongested every three to four weeks.

[@mickbroad2059]

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]

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

[@mickbroad2059]

@@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]

That's great insight Mick, I'm not brave enough to sharpen the blades myself, I have tried once but the good thing with Wahl clippers is the blades are incredibly durable. I wish I could say the same for the dreadful stylecraft clippers I wasted my money on.

[@nivea878]

no way i excagerate like that, thats more complicated than building a pc

[@stilllearning7432]

Hi thank u for ur video it helped a lot, but after i cleaned mine and pht it together i why my clippers become noisy 😩😩

[@theoneminutebarber]

This sometimes happens when the lever is loose

[@godmiracletv1173]

What brand of your razor sir?

[@theoneminutebarber]

This is a Wahl senior

[@FD_47]

How often should I do this ??

[@theoneminutebarber]

Regularly maybe once a month

[@FaridPotongRambut]

Ok

[@guillermoalonso1275]

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]

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]

@@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!

[@locolimon6913]

should teach how to properly order the bolts... just so the assembly gets easy

[@marvinwright7656]

😎😎 good vid

[@goodoverevil]

I got brand new hair clippers, used it once and disassembled it for cleaning after my haircut. When dissembling I noticed the blade sat flush without being pushed out however when reassembling the spring keeps pushing blade out. Any idea why this is happening?

[@theoneminutebarber]

you possibly haver the spring in the wrong way. But also you don't need to disassemble the clipper after every cut, maybe after about a month of cutting. Just use clippercide everytime.

[@goodoverevil]

@@theoneminutebarber thank you for replying. I did research and the brand I bought off Amazon is a cheap non existent Chinese manufacturer. Spring was kept in original place I just needed to clean the blade & guard because I have long hair and it jammed. If I may ask, any recommendations? Willing to spend 100$ max on a reliable set

[@Kooaid-9]

I cant imagine anyone throwing away their $200 clipper as soon as it starts having issues instead of repairing it it’s a tool it’s gotta be maintained that’s all this is.

[@KarlvanderVeen]

Your clippers shouldn’t get like that in the first place, you should spray with clipper spray after every haircut and constnalty brush hair off the blades and I personally like to take my clippers apart once every 2 weeks to give it a good clean

[@theoneminutebarber]

That's a good routine, I don't disassemble them every two weeks but do cover the rest of the bases. I'd like to see clippers manufactured with better seals so that the hair isn't entering the mechanism.

[@TheSoulCrisis]

@@theoneminutebarber Exactly it's a PIA doing all that every cut lol.

Monthly would be ideal although I know people who would do this weekly. You just need to keep an eye on the performance of the machine and strip it down if it's not performing.
