Absolultely. There are very good re-fills on the market. The Bosch Micro-Edge are nice. Even your standard Trico is fine. Where most people have a problem, is having to buy two sets of refills to replace the two different length refills. They opt to buy two equal length "blades" which come with refills (one salesman -- not knowing what a purist I was -- actually suggested this to me once -- if looks could kill, he'd have dropped dead on the spot). Thing is, if you buy two sets, you're set for the next time. And, if rubber prices go up in the future, you've saved some money.
