I'm still new, and trying to get things figured out. Just want to know where you all feel is the best place to buy blades like Israeli Reds and Derby Extras? I have seen some great deals on Ebay. How many of you have gone with Ebay? Not to be Mr. Paranoid, but is that safe? If not Ebay, where else do you recommend and why?

I got a box of 100 Derby's from Amazon last year for a good price.
I use the red pack Israelis and like them, the price, the sharpness ane the longevity. i get 3 or 4 good shaves out of them and they cost 11 1/2 cents each, including shipping. Just got another 100.
Be sure to check out westcoastshaving.com. The owner (John/letterk) is a board member and is great in the service dept.
+1 to westcoastshaving! 12 bucks for 100 crystals = awesome. Plus, their $1 blade bank is sweet.
Big +1 westcoastshaving.com. These people are great to deal with, fast reasonable shipping and great prices. What more could you want?
Without a doubt and just get the Red Personna pack and be happy like me.
Fendrihan.com has 100 packs of Derbys and Astras for a good price.
Didn't know Melyus was a member of this board. I ordered his Shark special through the other board you mentioned.
I received a sample pack of Sharks from another vendor last fall and just tried one a few weeks ago.
Couldn't resist the deal described above, and the Sharks, in addition to a stash of Treet Classics, Dorco 301's, and a smattering of others will take my supply of blades to a level that can cover a lot of history and geopolitical events. Any more would take my stash over the brink to ridiculosity.
Scour eBay for vintage NOS stainless steel Gillettes from the USA. Can't be beat, but I am the first to admit that I am a Luddite.
I bought 200 Derby Blades from The Shaving Factory at http://www.shavingfactory.com
Using the buy two promotion and coupon code BB The total cost was 22.49 delivered

Dark's Blade supply on the bay for the Red Packs. He is a member here also. I think I paid around 11-12 total for 100.

I have done all of my dealings on ebay. Never had a problem. West Coast Shaving is a great site with excellent customer service as others have mentioned.
