You can also get a can of Oster Kool-Lube. That will lubricate your blade and cool it so you don't burn your dog. The blades can be sharpened for quite a few years depending on how often you use them. It may be a bit of an investment, but it should last a lifetime.
P.S. Never put anything higher than a #10 on. The higher #'s they use for surgical cuts, and cuts like the poodle show cut and the such.

Wow thanks for the info. I just got a set of Wahl Cordless Pro clippers at walmart. They were like $50. I have a corded one but it's a PIA with a pup that is kitchy about being groomed. So without the cord I can move around a lot faster and not get caught with the cord.
