I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't find the info, so apologies if I've missed something.
Anyway, looking for new blades and the local store only has parabolics in the blade of choice (Coro Ace), for the same price as the standard blades. Buying online is an option, but will incur a fitting fee of around $80. So 2 questions - do parabolics require a highly skilled sharpener to maintain the edges? and any downsides to parabolics for the average skater?
