Are the blades proprietary or can you use most any brand?

Most blades have a universal fitting in my experience. Never had any problemspurchasing blades that fit

HIGHLY doubtful, though I'm no expert. I do know each manufacturer uses proprietary tech, in order to force you to buy their brand. Sometimes there are off brands which are cheaper, sold as matching that manufacturer's specs however. "Buyer beware" rules apply.

You can use any blade you wish. The saw is designed to be used with any blade including dados if the proper cartridge is used.

Yes any razor brand will work and there is no reason you should ONLY use feather blades. I prefer duller razors because I like to apply a bit more pressure when I shave, so I go with Astra blades atm. A few people have noted that the feather razors works BEST with feather blades, in their opinion. Perhaps their hand is lighter, but I still prefer astra blades.

I have no idea. Just order authentic blades from DJI. Don't give these a chance like I did. I still have not been refunded and doubt I ever will. I lost over $30 to these people.

I heard that you can, but I never have. I think they sell just the blades on the website so it must be doable.

You can use an aftermarket blade but it will have to fit the arbor. Marc Spagnuolo did a nice write up about one particular brand. The stock blade cuts like butter and comes with the saw so unless you are getting one with no blade then I would stick with that before you go out and buy something new. http://www.thewoodwhisperer.com/articles/new-tenryu-blades-for-festool-products/

I have been using my blades from the DLC 7 with no problems. However, I am not using my processor much lately since family size has changed. Hope this helps.

Per Rockwell email response to my inquiry, any brand blades will work with the tool, as long as the size is right - 4-1/2 diameter, 3/8 arbor. So buy at any place. Also, Rockwell is going to issue more blades for this tool in "late April - May 2014".

Not to my knowledge. I had the previous manufacturers device and I could not buy replacement blades. That led me to buying this product on amazon after looking at it in a brick and mortar kitchen tool store.

No, but there don't appear to be too many different ones to choose from. The most common blade is the "wet" blade. It has a replacement number of 1152. There is also a "dry" blade number 1151. There is either a "W" or a "D" stamped on the top of the blade.

I searched all over the internet but could not find just blades...I ended up ordering the complete version at http://amazon.com. It came delivered to Holland in just a few days.

I haven't tried yet, but they look very standard. I've seen similar non-Bosch blades at places like Harbor Freight that I'm sure would work fine. They have the same similar shape. When my old blades run out I plan to try the cheaper ones too.

I have the derby professional blades and they work just fine. There is 100 in a box that is less than $5 on amazon. I believe you have to use the red holder that comes with shavette with the derby blades but I also have not tried using the other holders provided(black and comb)

Any standard double edge blades will work. I tend to like the sharp blades in this razor as the razor is fairly mild. I always get great shaves form Gillette Silver Blues, Voskhods, Bic Chrome Platinums and Persona Medi Preps but the Feathers are really nice in this razor!

I am using Derby Extra. Have no problem with them. But, I would try some different blades, just because I like to try different items. But, I do like Derby.
