I also use both and if it wasn't for the breakage factor FD's would get my vote.

FD's, it was the first type of blades I started with, they do a great job, and you can't beat the service Mike gives you, so why would I switch.

FD for more reasons than just the blades (Mikes customers will understand
)

Dali,
Mike will contact you
order a mixed gross and you'll have fun. I find FD to be quite sharp and long lasting. So they are great choice. Mike's service is legendary.
Sheila,
I wanted to ask since quite some time: You wrote in your blog about different blades you where given without knowing which brand those were.
What brand was it?
