The Laguna upper and lower guides each have 5 ceramic inserts that hold
the
blade. 2 pair on each guide that are above and below the ceramic thrust.

That's what I was wondering - what you meant about "10 contact points".


Here is a link to a picture of the Laguna guides.

The picture only shows the 4 left guides inserts upper and lower. The right
4 are hidden by the blade and then centered on both guides are 2 thrust
bearings that you cannot see either.
