Clipper blades fail in a predictable order. Friction first, then heat, then a dull edge, then a machine that pulls hair instead of cutting it. Oil interrupts that at step one.

Wahl's clipper oil is a light lubricant made for the tight tolerance between a clipper's two blades. It is thin enough to sit in that gap without gumming, which is where household oils go wrong: too thick, and they collect hair clippings and turn into paste.

  • Reduces friction between the cutting and stationary blades
  • Keeps blades running cooler and quieter
  • Guards against rust and corrosion on the steel
  • Works across clippers and trimmers, whatever the make

Three or four drops along the teeth with the machine running, then wipe the excess away with a cloth. Do it before every cut. 118ml is enough that you will not be rationing it, which is the main reason people skip the step.

Application tips

Get the clippings off the teeth first. Oiling over a bed of hair only makes paste.

Hold the machine blade downwards so nothing runs back into the housing, lay a few drops across the teeth with it switched on, give it a few seconds to spread and take the surplus off with a cloth. Skip that last part and the first client of the day wears it on their neck.

Results

The machine sounds different straight away, quieter and cooler in the hand. A clipper that had started to drag hair goes back to cutting it.

Steel stays clear of rust between uses, which is what finishes off blades left in a damp bathroom. Kept up regularly, a set lasts years rather than months, and one bottle covers every clipper and trimmer you own.

Composition

The full INCI is printed on the pack. We publish it here as soon as the brand supplies it, and we will read it off the bottle for you if you ask.
