    This thread got me thinking, so after receiving a huge number of Russian blades today, I decided to count.

    189 Ladas
    123 Voskhod
    105 Rapira Stainless Chrome
    115 Rapira Swedish Super Steel
    105 Rapira Platinum Deluxe
    105 Sputnik
    11 Feather
    ======
    753 double edge
    +
    101 single edge
    =================

    854 blades

    A bunch! I have enough for my wife and I to enjoy many years of shaving including setting up newbies with samplers. When I see a deal I take it. Most recently I pick up 200 Super Max platnum's for $9.25. I would be afraid to actually count them:).

    I've thought about this thread a couple of times in the last week or so. I had an unknown amount of blades, a lot. Plenty. Just an unknown amount. Now I've got a box of 100 Personna Labs I just purchased and 100 Voskhods on the way. I honestly think I have 5 years of blades on hand. That's okay, I think I've got 18 months of soaps andn creams on hand too. I'm just going to call myself a prepper for mens shaving.... I'll be the clean shaven one during the apocalypse. So will you, I'm sure.

    My main concern is if Amazon will still deliver to a bunker address.

    I think you'd have to use one of their 7-11 lockers, I think they're all hooked up to the underground Amazon pneumatic tube network. Maybe they'll have their drone service up and running though.

    I like it.
    Amazon Fresh is an integral part of my post-apocalyptic survival strategy.

    Oh man I need to start buying blades. I'm so far behind the others in the group in blades count.
    Got like 70 blades on hand not really found a favorite blades yet. Vokshod seems to be my favorite blade.

    That is not yet available in my city. I still plan on raiding hobo camps and hunting feral cats.

    That strategy worked much better for me after I corrected my mix up "raid feral cat camps and hunt hobos"

    I live in Portland, OR in the United States. I got Personna labs from a little website I found Prices are good and they ship all over the world. It's called Amazon.com. They seem to have a lot of different things there, including books.

    Nope. I have no idea why you'd think I live in Germany. I bought them from Amazon right here: http://amzn.to/1FjCC40

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    I just did an actual count. Hey, why not, it's Sunday and I have nothing to do which is nice. Total blades in house right now is 329. Total in transit is 240, so I'll count them too and I have 569. 200 of those are Voskhod, 100 are Astra SP and the rest are mixed, mostly Russian but some tryablade.com packs too.

    Nope, get low (when I can see the top blade in my 100 pack) and reorder.

    I just check periodically to see if we need to order more. I don't concern myself with the exact number.
