In the past (in 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 stock ) I have used FD ultra reverse # 5 blades....From what i have read here I am going to try FD Polar blades for compound cuts.
Very nice cutting there Nikki !.....Welcome to the Village !....I also use FD blades.......Spiral blades are useful in portrait work and just take some getting used to.
