Clipper maintenance mistake. 15 years in.

I spent 15 years thinking you had to oil clipper blades every single day. Sounded right. Keeps them cool. Then a old timer at a barber show in Dallas told me I was drowning them. Too much oil gunks up the motor. I was stripping my Osters every 3 months for no reason. Now I do a drop every 3 days. Blades last way longer. Anyone else learn a basic thing super late?

Over oiling is way more common than people want to admit. A drop every few days is plenty for most clippers. That old timer saved you a lot of hassle.

Yeah, preach. Way too many people drown their blades.
