    I've got a little over 1200. That should last me for about 15 years. Since I'm only 69, I need to get more.

    I'm 67 and I've only got about 400.

    I guess I'll need to get more too.

    Right now I have perhaps 10. I need to re-order. I use Feather blades and share them with a friend of mine who enjoys wet shaving but whose finances are a bit shaky. He has all of the other gear, so I split my razors with him. Those 10 will last me for months considering a get a good number of shaves from each blade.

    since I have been using straights almost exclusively for the past couple of years, these will probably last longer than I do.

    This is my stash. These all work for me. Can't see in acquiring more.

    I figure about 400 of various brands. Enough to last quite awhile, maybe longer than me since I just turned 71.

    OOPS, forgot to add the 410 injector blades also.

    Reckon I'm set for life at this point

    Just got my first pair pack of 100 personna blues. So with that, about 112 vladesg. Gonna guess those would last about....3 years or so.

    I am down to 2 Merkur Super Platinum, 9 Dorco 301, and 12 Gillette Brazil Platinum Plus. At 4 days a blade, that's about a three-months' supply.

    But I'm not concerned about running out. I have a Dollar General four blocks away that always stocks DE blades...

    It almost makes sense to buy 50-100 at a time for economics IMO, so with in 2yrs I have about 550+DE & se blades or about 8+ yrs of shaving. I just purchased 100 7-oClock SP blacks for a split with my son & I, who is showing interest in DE traditional shaving for a Christmas present with all the bells and whistles gear to get him saving a little and yrs of enjoyment if he enjoys it.(bought him a RR SLOC , brush, alum, aftershave and soaps and 60 blades of different coatings.)

    A couple of years ago the Russian Ruble sank like a rock. As I remember it, I was buying 120 feather blades for a little over $7.00. It was a deal that was too good to pass up.

    I have about 80 Gillette Rubies, 10 or so Gillette Platinums, and a few packs of other blades. So 100 odd blades. I won't need more until I run out of these, and that will be awhile.

    Nothing wrong with that.
    I have a lot of hand and power tools that I've yet to use. The important thing is to be prepared.
