    Good evening.

    I am not much of a collector, more of a hoarder to be honest (I usually am ;) ) and razor blades is a favourite of mine.
    I just like to try out new blades and add a small amount to my hoard.
    Granted I am no Smaug, and my hoard is a modest size (1400-1500 blades in total), but I am tempted to add to it.

    Therefore I was hoping for some assistance. I would like to know if there are blades I have yet to try or never heard of, with perhaps an account of how they have worked for you. :)

    I am posting a few pictures of the blades I have available. The first picture is of blades I have more than a hundred of. Blades I continuously use in my day to day shavings.
    The other picture is of blades I have a only a few of. Most of these I have tried and discarded, but there are a few I have yet to try. I include this picture just to show that I am aware of these blades.

    Vintage blades are not of interest. I have a small stock of Personna 74s and Spoilers, but I am hesitant to use these.

    Yes, you are right. I have a few but I forgot to open the package and include them. A decent blade I ought to try again soon.
    Thanks

    Yeah, I like Wilkies, too. I used to be able to get some locally, but no more.

    I cannot get a single blade locally. The bay is the most viable option for me

    Yes, I have been lusting for these, and just noticed that they are available from the UK.
    Are they any good?

    Personna Reds (Israelis) might be worth investigating. Others I can immediately think of are probably not of interest, due to generally poor reception in the community (7AM, for example).
