I keep a few out for daily use. The rest are kept in tackle boxes under my socks. That way SWMBO doesn't know exactly how many I have. Fas est et ab hoste docari

Here's some... ...and some more... ...and some more... ...and I've got two of these... ...plus about a hundred or so GEM & Ted Pella single edge. These will all go to my boy should I croak within the next 20 years or so.
Maybe, but how are your 40 watt incandescent filament bulbs working for you? Once upon a time, one of the first official acts (never carried out) proposed by a former administration was to hire agents to go to yard sales in an effort to report the sale of items the government had deemed unsafe, leading to whoever was selling, say, an asbestos-stuffed teddy bear (assuming there is such a thing) to be reported and fined. Given that, I have NO DOUBT that under the right (wrong) conditions, certain nannyite powers would look at razor blades and say, "mmmmm...unsafe." Especially if a former congressional colleague was now a lobbyist for Gillette. /political tinfoil off
He's using all the razors I gave his middle son, until the boy is old enough to shave. He's only 11 now, though. So, my son will have had a chance to try 'em all out.
I keep most of the pile in an ammo cannister in my closet, but broke them out to see what I actually have on hand. I should probably PIF some of them.
My blade stash is most likely the smallest on this forum. I have tried probably several dozen blade types over the years and have settled on these. Not that the others were bad but, I wanted to simplify the blade assortment. After all was said and done I settled on the Astra SP Platinum blades. They are consistently sharp and work well in the adjustable and non-adjustable razors. I have had the Feathers laying around for a long time. Nice, sharp blades but I have a tendency toward nicks and cuts when I use them. The neat little cup was a gift from Michal Yoresh (Israel) when I ordered one of her lather bowls. She does great work at reasonable prices and shipping.
