Pack Your Blades
Pack Your Blades
Pack your blades securely with bubble wrap, ensuring there is plenty of padding between them. Then place them into a box or wrap with cardboard before placing them into your shipping envelope. This will dramatically reduce the risk of breakages while they’re in transit.* After your first order you will receive your blades in a box that you can reuse for future orders.
*Before packing your blades we recommend taking a photo of them to ensure the condition they get sent to us in, is the same condition they arrive in.
The order number and/or the order email must be enclosed within the envelope with your blades.
Please write your return address on the outside of the parcel.

Blades that CANNOT be sharpened.
Any blades that have plastic components on the comb or cutter, even if the bulk is metal, cannot be sharpened.
A5 Ceramic cutters - whilst the metal comb can be sharpened, the ceramic cutter cannot. When sending in these blade sets for servicing the cutter is replaced with a new one.

Fantastic service. Great communication and detailed feedback on the condition of my blades. Highly recommend.
My blades were perfect when they came back
Thanks clipsharp
I was pleasantly surprised with the quality service and communication I received from Clip Sharp. The blades were sharpened and returned promptly. The communication was great and Mark gave me an advice that one of the blades was coming to the end of sharpening service. All the blades were returned to us well sharpened, cleaned, and were all boxed nicely. The blades were sharp and kept cool when used. I will definitely continue using ClipSharp.
It’s so great reaching for my freshly sharpened blades, they are all working fantastically, and the service was absolutely fabulous with great communication and super fast turn around. Very highly recommend these guys
Service was prompt and organised, blades were packed very well in return package, and have been working nicely since then. Lovely team to deal with too. Thanks ClipSharp!
