   supposedly that's to "encourage" you to replacxe them every 2 months.   
   instead of the 2 seasons you used to get.   
   plus they've gone up in price, too.  so that is 2 flat out rate increases.   
   there are still heavy duty brands, usually small indies.  just look around and   
   you can find good blades.
