I think I have a Wahl 5 star detailer, and I feel like I'm electrocuting myself. I don't think it's an actual electrical issue, but it is painful; oil doesn't seem to matter, I don't think it's a blade sharpness issue (I don't use it very often because of this). Do you have any obvious tips or tricks - things that I could check out? Thanks in advance!

It could be the tension spring or a dull blades. The blade will rust if you don't put it away free of moisture and with a small amount of oil. I use a blower / canned air to blow out all hair particles, oil, then blow off and wipe excess.

Personally I haven't been a fan of Wahl trimmers. Andis T Outliner is the tits.
