What's Your Latest 100 Blade Purchase, And Why??

Any difference in quality?

.

 

i haven't got any chinese made ones,but this was my swedish source for these.
these were etched,not ink stamped like these ones some folks think they are the same,but to me the blue/white ones are smoother feeling.both give great shaves though.the blue/white tucks feel/are the same blade as King Gillette St.Petes blades sold here in the west.the blue/white tucks also have a British Gillette address on them,for the UK market.also refered to as "Swedes"..
..local supplies of King Gillette blades are now marked made in china..so it makes sense that the blue platinums would follow.again ,i feel they are the same blade..
just fyi.i have around 600 blue/white tucks purchased in the last 3 years,my 300 or so of the other tucks were purchased around 2018.definitely older stock..

 

A hundred Minoras arrived today. They’re easy to like, and really inexpensive.

 

100 pack of Ladas, all I can say is they don't work for me. Before that is was GSB and Pol Silver. I would like to get some Gillette Nacet and Platinums though.

 

200 Crystal Israeli's.

 

Wow, Crystals!!! Where’dja find them?

 

At Fendrihan.

They must have some old stock. They're not cheap but for me they're totally worth it.

 

How old can they be, there are bar codes on the package? Just curious.

100 Super-Max Blue Diamond blades. Hard to find since Super-Max shut down but worth it for me. Nice smooth blades

 

Totally. These are great blades, imo. I’ll be finishing a tuck in the next few shaves. Frankly, with only some twenty odd years worth of blades in my stash, I’m considering this opportunity to engage in further hoarding behaviors.

 

They are dated 2012.

 

They are really good. I have one loaded and ready for Wednesday!

Shut down? What the hey? I was not expecting that. A bit shocking to say the least.

I was looking at Super-Max blades in some online stores the other day. Some places were out of stock, but most were not. In case it helps, this site appears to still have them:

It was noted by Reddit r/Wetshavers_India. Hopefully, they ship overseas.

 

There appears to be vendors that still have a goodly stock of various Super-Max blades. Just a matter of searching them out I reckon.

 

the shavepocalypes is upon us..

 

Anyone buying in bulk anymore?

 

I bought 200 Feather blades recently. Does that count?

 

Several years ago I rated these as the worst blades ever made when I did a long run of blade trials. Came up with all sort of other names of them. Limping Sparrow. Diseased Vulture. You get the idea. And having tried them, I KNOW you get the idea.

 

Yep. I'd say so.

 

200 Treet Black Beauties. To get that carbon feel and sound when I'm craving it.
