I use both! I find no blade or brand does everything I need.

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.

Matter of personal preference for me, I have used both and it is the dutch-man for me

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

Dali,
Mike will contact you :D 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?
