I paid $50 a year ago for those fancy Canadian Tire Reflex blades.
They are the best I've ever had.
Should I expect to change blades every year?

Try cleaning them with window cleaner and a paper towel. You will probably
have to work at it a bit for them not to show black on the towel any more,
and that might help.

Depends. I have a fancy set of teflon insert blades I use during rainy
season. In spring when the chance of rain is less, I change to a set
of regular blades and let them bake in the sun all summer. Once rainy
season starts again I change back. Since the winter blades see very
little sun I expect they should last quite a while.
