Got it thanks for the perspective. Being in Colorado I was a little concerned, and still am, about being able to find somebody to accurately profile as it seems just getting a skate sharpened correctly can be an adventure. Thanks again.

Evening All, Long time reader, infrequent poster. Searching the site for definitive perspective on shims vs. profiling. My daughter is a strong skater playing tier I girls hockey. She is wearing Mako II skates, CXN holders, blacksteel blades and superfeet carbon insoles. I recently purchased a brand new pair of Mako II skates in her size with Edge holders - CXN blacksteel blades are impossible to find. After reading through posts I believe the CXN pitch is +2 and the Edge is neutral. In order to maintain that setup assuming my understanding is correct, is it preferable to shim the heel or profile the steel to mirror the pitch in the CXN holders? It seems profiling the blade is much less precise and open to interpretation as opposed to the one time shim. Thanks in advance.
