Totally get the 1 Sst knife and 1 carbon, I did the same before I had the plotter. But why the 2 sst knives? Is it just to conserve blades? Or something else?

The second ss blade is for side gaskets and bottom, to scrape the glass under the rubber. Because i have it extended out so much when i use it i don't think it would be good for cutting, so it's just for cleaning, i also don't change it as often.

here is how i do the majority of the vehicles i tint.  snatch the seals on rollups and bottom load.  shrink rollups and double snap to insure a good shrink like on mustang and camaro rollups.  dry shrink car back glasses using the dryer sheet dry shrink method locked down horizontal across the middle of the back glass so film doesnt shift.  thats how i do 90 percent of the vehicles i tint.  and always use stainless steel blades.  no carbon blades unless using them to shave frameless rollups.  hope this helps.
