The only time I've experienced serious dulling of my blade when cutting paper was when I used it on a 20-page brochure printed on 28 lb paper that I trimmed three egdes on each one - did about 50 of them. That was definitely a test of its longevity!

I use my rotary cutter and don't notice if it makes it dull
|
I do trim with my ruler and rotary cutter. But I have an old one specifically saved for paper.
|
I keep a small (28mm) rotary cutter for paper piecing and it doesn't seem to get any duller than the bigger ones that I use for just fabric.
|
I use the same one. I've never noticed that it makes a difference.

I use my rotary cutter for fabric, paper, card stock, fusible,
and trims. And it I need templates and have the Go Die that fits, I cut paper with my Go. |
Yes, I use my rotary cutter when using triangles on a roll!

I do lots of paper piecing and have never had to use a separate blade. I have Gingher scissors for years that Ive not had to sharpen and I use them for everything. Getting nicks on blades is another matter.
