Figured just start a bladewatch thread (baywatch) PLEASE ADD YOUR HOT DEAL BLADE FINDS Recent purchases Astra platinum $8.95 US/100 blades Rapira lux $8.99 US/100 Lord platinum $8.99 US /100 Vokshod $7.48 US/100 I’ve noticed prices will fluctuate. Daily if not hourly. Also you may have to search for lower price @ amazon and @ eBay vs. initial results from search Free shipping @ amazon if prime member Ps. Just in case Here are some prepared Excuses for buying more shaving items: Insomnia shopping They are not even $10 Buying blades are much cheaper than buying razors prepping for when the SHTF, zombie invasion I didn’t buy the $20 dollar blades These are on sale These are way cheaper than expensive cartridges They are usually way more expensive I’m gifting most of these to friends at work The dollar is strong now, had to take advantage of foreign market You can never have enough razor blades I am done purchasing blades (for now) They are $40 at other sites They don’t have these @ Walmart (or fill in other store)
Talk about enabling! Thankfully, I will resist as I have at least a 10 yr supply of Astra SPs... got 'em when they were new to the US market for $7/100.
Oooh that’s a good price! not enabling consider it retail therapy, and preventing more costly purchases.
Just ordered 100 Astras. These are my go to de blades and this is a great price! Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
I’m glad you like them I ordered 100 also. Never used one but have read many a good review. I may have a problem I just calculated my blade use rate and soon to be stock Blades. I have 19 years worth of razors. I’m going to hold out for 21 years worth, Fibonacci number .... maybe add some premium $$$ blades. Thing is I prefer smooth over laser sharp.
Just bought 200 Rapira Platinum Lux for I believe $7.99 per 100 at Italian Barber. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk
I recommend Rapira Platinum Lux. Sharp, almost Feather sharp and smooooooooth. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk
Gilette Wilkinson Sword. Platinum coated saloon pack From the BAy ... 6.38 US shipped I read where these are made in China for India market Edit these showed up in exactly 2 weeks. ended up getting 1o bonus blades these, and will be least expensive blade i have in my cache anyone have any experience with these? Edit I’m told these are made in India.
I recently bought a 100 pack of Shark Super Stainless blades for $6.47 on Amazon with free shipping. I received them yesterday.
Thanks for adding to bladewatch How do you like the shave? Review? Comments? @6.47 make it a value blade! I’m going to do more research on these
I enjoy the Shark SS blades. They work well when I need a smooth shave as opposed to an aggressive one. I love how forgiving these blades are; perfect when I shave the day after a rough shave. Plus I can still get either a DFS or even a BBS on a Shark SS.
I was thinking about getting some milder blades.... Not sure if I should thank you or curse you but I ended up ordering some also Another addition to my growing cache Thanks for the heads up edit found these on amazon for $5.99 making them the least expensive blades I've ever bought
You’re welcome. The Shark Super Stainless blades are definitely a mild blade. They might just be what you’re looking for.
Yes, they are cheap. Imho they are decent, however neither as sharp nor as smooth as the original Wilkinson Sword blades.
i've heard the same from others, keeping my eye out for some I got my first box 2 saloon packs in and was able to get 2 shaves in so with 1.5 days growth. i was able to get a near DFS (Damn fine shave). quality :: cost definitely worth keeping in my stable as always i prefer a straight razor shave which make me a dilettante in DE blades i can compare them to rapira lux, astra sp, voskhod, dorco 301, lord stainless, 5 0 clock yellow, 7 o'clock green, feather, lord platinum class, Gillette Platnium, with wilkinson swords lower on this list but still a keeper
I get it. I keep the Rapira Swedish Supersteel around for the same reason. I picked them up next to nothing a few years ago and they work well enough for me. I still think it is a smart idea for a new shaver to buy a tuck of them before buying a couple hundred. There are lots of inexpensive good blades out there everyone has their own preferences. Enjoy your shave.
