Lobo - ignore the previous Gronks reply --- Generally you should keep the
blades lubricated - as they pass over each other touching - they can wear
down prematurly if not lubricated - a few drops of Engine oil ( same as used
in your car ) will do the trick. or spray some wd40 on the blades before and
after use to maxamise life
