Btw, these are the coolest fakes I've seen: poor FAKE! - Oakley Frogskins Blends w/Fire | Flickr - Photo Sharing! I would actually buy these in heart beat if Oakley actually made these.

I have a pair of vintage Oakley Razor Blades and have had no problem swapping lenses on these using the same technique that I use to swap lenses on my m-frames. I would say that the Razor Blades have a very strong frame, much more so than the m-frame. In fact, from swapping lenses on my...
