Need some help with Clippers?

Question

Hey everyone, I'm not a professional barber nor groomer, but ever since my barber recommended me on using a certain clipper for shaving, my shaving has never been better. All my razor bumps have gone away, no more morning rashes, everything is fine and dandy, but only problem is that this clipper seems to go to the sh*ter every time I use it. I have been through maybe 4 clippers in about 3 months. Basically all of them have the same symptoms. I use the Andis Outliner, and I always follow the instructions, oil up the blade etc etc. But even so, after about 2 weeks into using the machine, clipper just stops cutting, completely. The motor would run normally, I hear the motor running and I see the blade moving but nothing. Won't cut at all, what really happens, it starts pulling the hairs!! And the one I have now, started like that, and now the blade won't even move. The engine moves and everything, but now the blade just stays there, no movement at all, I have 3 other clippers of all are the Andis Outliner and 1 T Ouliner, any help would be greatly appreciated, as I need to shave for New Years! Thanks

Answer 1

It sounds like there is a problem with the clipper--try contacting the company, see if they can either tell you what you are doing wrong or send you a replacement/refund.

Answer 2

as far as the blade not even moving anymore... thats weird. maybe it's not in there all the way? or it's just a bad pair of clippers. but you do have to change the blade on the clippers... just like a razor blade, it will get dull. that should fix your problem. you shouldn't have to buy new clippers everytime, you should be able to get blade replacements.
