These seem sharper than the originals and have started to cut into my skin. Any advice/suggestions? Did I install them incorrectly?

When I use mine afterwards it seems to scrape close but not cut into my skin running a wire brush across it may dull it enough to keep it from doing that

They seem sharper because they are new. It comes down to installing correctly and adjusted afterwards. Properly adjusted they cut just fine. Adjusting is the toughest part and I can't really tell you much except to say, keep moving the metal guard out until it doesn't cut into the skin.

I don't think they are sharper, any clipper can do that if adjusted. You probably just need to adjust the blades. Loosen the screws and push the smaller blade down if the are too close to the edge, it can cut. Also make sure the blades are not uneven edge to edge.

maybe, i found it to be more gentle than the origional. the slot just rests on the white plastic plug (the one that vibrates) i put a drop of oil between the blades. they don't seem to line up as one is set back and they don't seem parallel, but it must be the way they're suppose to be because they work great. i'm bald and i use them a couple times a week

They are not sharper than the originals I found that my other ones were sold out that I thought the same thing as you but that was not the case try using the smallest guard possible to keep it from cutting into your skin until the dull out a little bit I think there's a half for a1 inch that you could use for guard I don't think you installed them incorrectly although I don't have a picture or anything but you would not be able to use the Clippers they would make a horrible sound and would definitely not work I hope this helps good luck

I assumed they were to be used as-is. Most of us would not own the equipment to sharpen, nor know how to do it. there is a coating (paint) on the blade, and my impression was that they did not appear very sharp out of the box.

These blades are solid and I think it'll take months if not years for any dulling effect. By then, I'd buy I new one. Good luck, Tony.

Not "sharp" edges, but you do have to press them a little firmly to operate. I like that, so you aren't accidentally turning on/off during use. Maybe it's worth a trip to a sporting goods store for you to test out before you buy?

Yes, they are supposed to be although on every blade I have used, one side does seem to be a bit sharper and last longer.

The only way to sharpen them is to sharpen the non-serrated side of the scissors. If the scissors do become dull, simply let me know and I will send you out a replacement pair free of charge.

I dont know. Ive had mine on craigslist since i bought them, trying to sell them, becuz very disappointed how NOT sharp they are.

So sorry, cannot help. I had to return them because they didn't cut anywhere near an inch like they are claim to. Decided to get one from Home Depot for about $8 (which I'm sure is available at Amazon too). Good luck!

We enjoy the clippers but have not used them enough to have to have the blades sharpened yet. I can tell you experience with knives as well as commercial paper cutters that any blade will wear down when sharpened...At some point they will have to be replaced. Make sure that you use the oil when you use the clippers as this will help them stay sharper longer. Take care, Greg

My edges are not sharp but they are thin and have a definite edge. I didn't think I would cut myself on them. Return or exchange them if you are pleased.

I have sharpened mine and they seem none the worse for it. I decided they were cheap enough that I could replace it if I ruined it.

I left mine the way they came and they cut cleanly. When I sharpen I'll put a finer edge in place, but I suspect it will just need more frequent sharpening and not do a better job.

T-trimmers are very sharp. you must not use any weight or pressure when you are using them. when i first got these i had the same problem. i had to figure out how to use feather like strokes or else i would cut my client. remember dont use any pressure on the skin. let the blades do the cutting.

Unfortunately, I believe you may have installed them improperly. Had mine on for quire a long while and haven't had any issues.

After several years of use they were showing extreme wear so I replaced them. You stated that yours are still great after many years. Consider using the comparison, are you still using the same tooth brush after the same amount of time.

If you are wanting sharp blades, you are probably a more advanced skater, and will want a higher quality pair. I purchased these for a novice skater. Hope this helps.
