I have asked there and the answers were mixed. One brand (very expensive) was even mentioned that I never heard of. Someone mentioned Laube as a possibility too and I had never heard of them either. I was just wondering in particular what was used in a shop where they get LOTS of use. I think am leaning toward Andis...

Jen, I know the blades need to be sharpened and in the past I took them to a man that my vet uses to sharpen his blades for surgery. I left a message on that man's voice mail a month or so ago, and he never called me back. I don't want to bug him. I do use lubricating oil and Cool Lube spray. Didn't even know about brushes.

What I find myself doing is giving the dogs a break and putting the clipper in the refrigerator. I groomed Bella yesterday and it takes hours when the clippers get hot. Today is Ripley's day. I wish I could do them both in one day but just can't. Then again I am probably too old to do two dogs in one day. Certainly with baths added in! LOL!

PS - Thanks KayAnn for contacting Amy and Amy thanks for your thoughts on this.
