    For a few years, when I was DE shaving, I really enjoyed trying new blades. What I found was that when a large majority of shavers favored a certain blade, it usually worked out well for me. I also liked trying "hard to find" blades, that some thought were the greatest things made. These usually weren't all that, but so so blades. Some really were very good. Since blades are relatively inexpensive, I enjoyed buying them 100 at a time. It made no sense to but 25, pay for shipping, when for a couple more dollars you could get 100 blades. Also, which extra blades, I could trade and give away several tucks at a time, without fear of running low.

    Gillette silver blues:

    They are some if the sharpest blades made, and they are incredibly smooth.

    I found them at the lowest price I have seen in a very long time, so I jumped.

    100 Swedish Supersteel and 100 Vokshod, because they are both sharp and incredibly smooth.

    Last large order I made was 250 Pol Silver Super Iridium's. I'm pretty much down to 4 favorites, the Pol Silver, Gillette Silver Blue & Nacet, and Perma Sharp

    I just recently bought 100 Kai blades. They are the only ones that I can use so far and the wife likes them the most too.

    Not bought a 100 sleeve for a few yeas now as I use straights 99.8% of the time.

    But Rapira was my last purchase my personal favourite.

    Gillette Nacet because they are the smoothest blades I have found and the price I found is not much more than Astra( $13/100ct).

    Gem Stainless PTFE last fall as I was out of SE blades and buying in bulk is much better than paying $0.45 per blade at the local grocery.
