Pro tip: stop chasing clipper sales and learn to sharpen a $25 pair first

I took a sharpening class at the barber supply shop on 8th in Philly last month and the guy spent the first 20 minutes on a cheap pair of Wahl clippers he pulled out of a drawer. He ran them over a flat lapping plate with 400 grit, then 1000, then a leather strop, and they cut through a wet paper towel like new. Everyone in the room wanted to talk about the $200 cordless sets, but how many of you are actually sharpening your blades instead of just swapping them out?
