I may have to add this to my ever growing Wish list. :roll:
Ya remember the ads for shavers that they lined up 100 guys or something to use the same blade (yuk)? Don't believe it.
Same thing with rotaries... use the blades, get rid of them when they stop cutting perfectly. Use EBay to get blades (genuine OLAF) cheap. I have dozens of them in a box waiting to be used.
