Does this product needs oil for the blades? If so, which one do you recommend?

Yes!.....will stay sharp longer ....use very lite white oil ,(usually comes with most shavers) .Or the food grade lubrication . With any go very sparingly !!

For the razor blades, no. For the battery powered trimmer I have to admit that I forget. Have used this product (trimmer only) for about 8 hours in the last 5 months with the same battery, and have only had to bush it out to clean it. I expect it to last for another 5 years or so, which comes out to $2 per year. The next least expensive trimmer I looked at cost about $100, which would have to be used 200 years to cost as much as I spent on this. The plastic will probably wear out before the trimmer blades do at this rate.

Hi, it has been a few months and i have not had the need to use the lube. Seems to be working like new and i use it quite often and i try to keep it clean. Sorry, i just read the blades part..i don't use the blades from this.

The inner blades are stainless steel or similar. The outer foils are probably aluminium. The instructions mention nothing about lubricating oil so I would not use any (not sure how oil would react with the rubber seals that protect the inner parts of the shaver from water).

I used clipper oil for my hair clippers. Depends on what you are sharpening.

The cutter is installed on the motor shaft from the factory and it includes a food grade lubricant to ensure you may remove and clean after use. So yes, the blade assembly is mounted by the factory and oiled. No concern over the oil as it is food grade for use in that environment.

No, it does not. Most clippers now get enough lube when you oil the blades.

If you're a salon professional or barber, sanitize your blades, spray the Andis Blade Care also known as H42 since they're the manufacturers of the product (formerly sold by Wahl fyi). Since the Andis Blade Care is an 'oil' base, you don't need to 'oil up' afterwards, but you can, it's all subjective on the value you place upon your blades and device(s) you use. Just don't forget to use some canned air to blow out the debris before you use the Blade Care and or oil - using canned air also helps to spread that lube around properly. Best to you.

I don't know, haven't tried it without oil. It was too small for me after I used it only once.

Supposed to be new. Is there hair on the blade or could it be preservative oil? Mine were clean and new looking.

I find Hoppe's Precision Lubrication to be the most highly refined oil lubricant for any of my tools. I'm not familialr with the Wahl animal clippers, however, if you make certain to only lubricate the blades minimally, without the lubricant running into the motor, you will find an immediate positive effect on the cutting ability of that tool! sms

I don't have any issue wiping the oil..I just use a paper towel along with a small brush to clean the hair and once a month I unscrew the blade to clean from inside since lot of hair get stuck in there. But do oil it after every use.

These blades last a long long time with proper maintenance. Clean the hair off them with a clipper brush and use a few drops of clipper oil each time you use it.

yes both are included but you will need more oil for any extensize cutting [very pleased with saw]

My thought is the oil preservative on the blades I flushed ours with warm water and bleach then ran 5 lbs of ice then repeat. Love ours besides a small safety switch adjustment it hasn't had an issue.

Came with 1 standard blade and several comb sizes (I do not use the combs). Never have oiled mine, so I do not know. Depending on the hair, you might need a blade that is more durable (for thicker coats).

I use AMSOIL bar and chain oil. It does tend to leak out a little if stored with the oil in the saw. It is a great little saw!

I haven't had to oil it yet and don't imagine that I will for awhile. I think after about a year with my last one, I hit the blades with some mineral oil. It's never a bad idea. This white boy is still perfectly happy with this "ethnic" groomer.

No, i had my first flowbee for 10 years or more and never had to change blade s just keep them oiled.
