If used properly, a good pair of hair trimmers should not grow dull. Hair trimmers operate similarly to scissors in that two blades are rubbed across each other under pressure, cutting whatever is between those blades in the process. Since metal sharpens metal, the process sharpens the blade. From time to time, however, hair trimmers may grow dull from hair care product buildup, corrosion from lack of use, or from improper use. If this is the case, there are a few things you can do to restore hair trimmers to their former sharpness.
Instructions
1. Disassemble the trimmer head using the screwdriver. Lay all the parts out in the order in which they were assembled.
2. Soak the blade in a bowl of rubbing alcohol to remove any haircare product buildup.
3. Inspect the blade for any corrosion or obstructions. Gently rub the blade with the soft cloth to remove any corrosion, obstructions or remaining buildup.
4. Place a drop of whetstone oil on the whetstone. Sharpen the blade by rubbing it briskly back and forth on the whetstone. Turn the blade over and repeat the process.
5. Wipe the blade with rubbing alcohol again and reassemble the trimmer head.
6. Place three drops of sewing machine oil on the blade.
