FACTS ABOUT BLADES AND CUTTING
• Blades not only become dull from cutting hair, they are dulled by the abrasive particles on the hair, such as dirt, sand, etc.
• Blades will not cut if abrasive particles are picked up and carried by the oil film between the blades. These particles tend to hold the blades apart and
cause chewing and pulling instead of clean cutting.
