Folks at the barber supply counter set me straight about my clipper blades

I'd been using the same clipper oil for years, just squirting it on and calling it good. An old timer at the barber supply in Austin asked me if I ever brushed out the hair first, and I honest to god hadn't. Has anybody else been doing it the lazy way this whole time?

Funny thing is that oil might actually be trapping the grit in there and making it cut worse. Bet a dry brush before oiling would keep those blades sharper way longer.

Man I did the exact same thing for like two years before someone finally told me.
