Old barber told me to never wet my clippers blades with water

He said WD-40 is the only thing that should touch them, and I thought he was being dramatic. Then I killed a $150 pair of Wahl clippers in 3 months by rinsing them off after each cut. Anyone else stick to oil only for cleaning?

Wait that really happened? Rough way to learn that lesson man.

Three beers deep and I thought I could parallel park a U-Haul into a spot that was clearly two feet too short. Ended up taking out a fire hydrant and a mailbox in one smooth move, @charlie198. The cop who showed up actually laughed before writing the ticket, so that was nice. Took me another six months before my buddies let me forget that one.
