@helicopter , I don't think I've thanked you for the time and excellent data you've been gathering. This thread continues to peak my interest. I already have my blade selection mostly done and it's nice to confirm what I'm feeling with them is as you are describing. I don't have anywhere the experience with DE blades many of the people here on B&B do... and truth be told, I doubt I ever will, as I'm trying to keep my DE blade selections to a minimum...
Thank you again for the time you are dedicating to this project. It's appreciated deeply.
