I haven't used the low profile, but I use Sturkey Gold high profile.  I love 'em.

	Sturkey's blades are the best that I have ever used and I have used them 
all.

	I would appreciate receiving your opinions regarding which is the best 
low profile disposable microtome blade available? 
 for the purposes of this discussion I will define "best" as the blade 
that has the most durable edge or that which permits the greatest 
quantity of blocks to be sectioned and yielding the highest quality 
sections. 

	thanks for your input
