Perfumed Lillium Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I have taken on a new hobby, that of clipping friends and relatives' dogs. One problem….the individual concerned whom I send my blades to be sharpened has simply no idea and the blades come back to me in exactly the same shape as they were before I sent them away to be sharpened, lol. Does anyone know of some one capable of sharpening clipper blades so that they may prove useful? I have 10 dogs from a selection of friends and relatives forming a queue and 6 blades that wouldn't cut through butter. Please Help….anyone?

Dogsfevr Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Featherdale in Vic (i think thats the name ) Do you wash the blades regularly & are the coats dirty ?/Also have you changed the tohgue on the clipper head as that can affect the blades working ability too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*kirty* Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I use the Clipperman who is in Mulgrave. http://clipperman.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*kirty* Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Also, do you different length blades, or do you put a comb on to adjust the length (hope that makes sense!). If the dogs you are grooming are matted or very dirty, the combs often won't go through. You might need to use a shorter blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airedaler Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Another vote for Ian Parsons from Feather Edge www.clippersharpening.com.au He charged me $10 per blade and I post them off to him with a cheque or he will accept DD and they are usually back within a week at the most. I've never had a blade come back that is not sharp and they seem to last longer than those I had sharpened at Clipper World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rascalmyshadow Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Another vote for Feather Edge, Ian is the best around his dad Charlie was very well known in the grooming/hairdressing industry. I normally drop the blades/scissors at his house and he either couriers them back or I collect them a couple of days later. Don't waste your time with Clipperworld their sharpening service is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
