They do make a difference. Youre just out of luck. You want to save money by getting a cheaper replacement part not made by the manufacturer, and its too small, too big, or just a piece of crap. Easter Bunny brought these in my daughters basket, and theyve been a hit. Shaves smooth and doesnt pull and doesnt get warm after running it for awhile. I havnt worn them out yet bc im a little worried they may fall apart the first tey! SHIIT Modi2/Magni2 combination for $200 or AUNE X1s for $289). I ordered the product in black, and it is not natural wood. 5 grams, but the corresponding weight the anti-skate must be set to is closer to 2 grams on the dial based on a blank disc skate test. Great value with everything that I needed.
