HOW TO SHARPEN YOUR CLIPPER BLADES DIY

[@dragosfgv]

hey man, thanks for the vid! definitely gonna need this when I buy my new trimmer. one thing I will add though, I know everyone has been telling you to wet the stone, so I won't mention that, but as someone who does use these japanese whetstones to sharpen knives, you can actually start on the 1000 grit, its sufficient enough to sharpen your blade from the start. the 400 grit is usually only used if your blade is really in that bad of condition, to the point where it won't cut a single strand of hair fed into it. this will help your blades last longer since you won't be grinding away more than you need. hope this helps!

[@prezthedj]

wetting the blade cuts down on the heat generated?

[@dragosfgv]

@@prezthedj yea I suppose it does, but why would you need heat? just what I imagine: you want the friction of the whetstone's rough surface, thus the whetstone should be wet to prevent clogging of residue. moreover, mild heat can potentially have a weakening effect

[@neko_the_barber9000]

This is legit soak that rock and use it as Cole directs and I promise your clipper and trimmer blades will be HITTING and reduce your fade time and line up time drastically with no wasted strokes THANK YOU Cole!!!

[@joaquinosborn]

This method worked for me. My clippers and trimmer cut like new again! I used a 1000 wet stone and a 3000dlc wet stone.

[@Gameraqi]

400 ?

[@joaquinosborn]

@@Gameraqi 1000 and 3000. I didn’t use a 400 stone

[@Gameraqi]

@@joaquinosborn what's the difference in stone or sandpaper?

[@Zae_Blendz_It]

@@Gameraqidifferent textures. The lower the number the rougher the higher the number the smoother. Lower numbers are used to cut into the metal or whatever material to remove dirt or inconsistencies the higher number are for polishing. Hope that kinda helps

[@TrentonWilliams34250603]

Appreciate the upload. I was just about to get rid of mine. Alos, thanks for the amazon link

[@darrenbuela1121]

How does this method go with making the blades cut smooth? I find that new blades snag and my older blades run through the scalp like butter

[@khristoffsavage7164]

Appreciate this vid. You walked through everything like a breeze

[@prezthedj]

So I only cut my sons hair. Learned on KZbin and I cut it pretty decently (now) but I can never get that crisp shape up line that I want even after a zero gap my Andis shape up clippers. Am I doing a poor job Zero gapping them or are fresh clippers just slightly dull on purpose? And barbers have to sharpen them to their liking?

[@kameishagreenunapologetica8210]

Trying it out tonight getting ready for the morning thanks man💪

[@drumlifegame18]

Can u use it for any blade like clippers and trimmers?

[@Smokie1013]

Do you have an easy way to put that blade back together? I remember taking the dlc one apart once and was hard to put back with the spring pressure

[@Gameraqi]

What can i use for normal Normal blade size 400 or 1000 ?

[@davidhakes3884]

Hey Cole do you have a Diamond stone to keep your 400X1000 FLAT?? if not you should get one because if it dishes out it will not sharpen right. You probably already know this. I bought a 400X1000 Diamond plate from a sharpening supply house was only 38$.

[@Colecutzbrand]

Yes

[@drod7681]

Thx bruh appreciate it.

[@i2gamer536]

How long do u soak the block for?

Yup 👍🏽💈

[@kameishagreenunapologetica8210]

Thanks man! This gon save me a major headache a few times!💪

[@TheOriginalCryptoPimp]

Thanks a lot. This will save me a lot of money and time. The place where I take my blades to get sharpened has a 4-6 week turn around time. Yikes! I cut my own hair at home, once or twice a week. How often should I sharpen my blade?

[@dragosfgv]

Hey man, Im sure you wanted an answer from the guy, but thought Id share my opinion too: if youve got something of quality like a wahl, itll last you at least half a year. something cheaper, maybe every 2 months. you dont want to sharpen too often either, as each sharpening process wears off a layer of metal on the blade

[@jmg36344]

Soak the rock for 10-15 min (not dry). Move blade only in one direction it back and forth. Much luck. Peace.

[@Colecutzbrand]

Thanks

[@dangmarlo]

man i need help.😭 i sharpened my fx3 blade with the same rock and my blade ain’t cutting at all. like i zero gapped em and everything. it literally doesn’t cut the hair.

[@Carl-tx6ek]

Make sure its dead flat on the stone on the flat side of the blade (not the outside) and make sure you're not rocking the blade towards the edges or tip. Dead flat. Use a large magnet to hold the blade if you can't grasp your blade. I know I can't. If you're unsure if the stone is cutting the metal, color the whole inside of the metal blade body with a sharpie. Then you can see what part of the blade is making contact with the stone. It should be the whole blade surface except the low channels machined out by the factory. If you use a cheap stone though it will either not cut well or dish out quick, like these Sharp Pebble stones. They are among the WORST stones out there. I use sand paper on a piece of glass that's thick and flat. Works amazing! Start with 220 grit if it's really dull, then 400, 800 and if you're frisky 1500 to finish. Test on you're arm hair when you're done. Hope that helps

[@kevinljones5421]

@@Carl-tx6ek do you all your grits with the sandpaper ?

[@Sleepygamer93]

Is that better than the 1 min blade modifier by rich barber ??

[@Colecutzbrand]

To me, Yes

[@jum0n3y]

That modifier ruined my blades

I didnt know that you could sharpen a titanium nitride coated blades.

[@Carl-tx6ek]

It's a pretty thin coating. The metal underneath is the same metal. Keep it oiled afterwards so it doesn't rust.

[@jayhdz9856]

​@Carl-tx6ek any tips on how to sharpen them if they snag???? I bought 2 new blades from babyliss and they both snag even new

[@philbisbo859]

Thanks

[@alexolivarez732]

I'm sorry sir, but you are wrong. The stone you're using is in constant need of water. You use it the way you want to, but you're incorrect.

[@devonrichards3793]

Hey say you have to wet the stone at the beginning, he just demonstrate how to use it

[@Jeromecuts]

🙌🏿👏🏿

[@ashitakamoto953]

bruv...your gotta wet that stone 😬

[@jugglinggeoff]

This is how you ruin a blade. Get a Nebraska blades sharpening machine and that edge will last over a year

[@onpoint357]

What blade have you personally seen ruined using this method? 😂😂

[@Carl-tx6ek]

I would like to know too. Them machines are awful pricey, and do the same thing

[@gotacalifornia]

​@@onpoint357numerous. I sharpen blades for a living. I own the Nebraska Big Red. Your sand paper method might just might work once or twice at best but I'm going to have to remove more material taking more life off that blade to fix your problem. If you left it as is I can trap in that blade a dozen times. if you wanted to last months even years get it done right. Or you must not have enough clients and you have the time to take it apart every single time and do this.

[@gotacalifornia]

​@@Carl-tx6ekThey have them for sale on sharpening forums all the time. I see it on marketplace every once in awhile. It's worth paying $800 bucks for training. I went to the Edge pro in Ankeny Iowa It was worth its weight and gold. In one year I've made over $10,000 sharpening blades.

[@Zae_Blendz_It]

This is literally the same concept as the company’s use. Only correction I would make is to use in one 1️⃣ direction not back and forth, being that the back and forth would create a pattern in the blade. This is foundation work though so everybody being super technical and saying it will ruin blades are ignorant

[@anddontcallmeshirley-]

Is this available in English?? Jfc lol Also ... this 🤡🤡🤡 advice will wreck your blades.
