I've tried a lot of different blades but I have to agree with Susan. If I'm 
trying out a different brand and I'm having a sectioning problem I always 
revert back to accu-edge. I don't know if this is just a psychological 
thing or if they really are better but I have to have them.

I just tried Shandon's low profile blades - MX35 - and they did do well but 
I'm still hooked on accu-edge.
