I've got blades enough to last decades. Now if I could figure out a way for me to last decades....
Thanks...I guess every region have their own particular DE blades. Here in Malaysia where I am...most of the blades are from India and Middle East.I admit I have been in the DE blade game for almost 20 years now and I have quite the collection. However, you have some I have only heard about - some "knock offs" and others completely new to me.
Without getting into the pros and cons, all I use are vintage blades, I bought them at costs per shave equal or better than modern, which took some doing, and I have something around ten different varieties enough of to last the rest of my life. Call me crazy but I like them way better than modern and it was done to redirect a more costly brush acquisition disorder I felt coming on.I've heard of those that collect vintage tucks with all their diversity of brand and graphics and I could see that being attractive from a collecting standpoint...though most of them wouldn't be in shape to be actually used.
And I could see collecting a diversity of modern tucks to try out the many offerings...
But collecting hundreds, even thousands of modern blades in bulk?
I only hope you're storing them in environmentally favourable conditions.
Once you get beyond a five year supply I think you're in danger of being committed!
I have about 14 years worth of blades, the problem is,my preferences had changed and will likely change again, so most of these blades are not really my first choice anymore.
I guess the lesson learned is, anything over a hundred in any one brand is a gross overkill, unless you’re a kind of person who doesn’t like experimentation and just sticks to one brand for ever. But where’s fun in that ?
I will likely still occasionally buy 100 packs - it doesn’t make sense to me to spend $3-4 on a sample of 5-10 blades when a 100 pack is around $10. But, I am done with stashing them.
You need some Lord blades!I'll join in and admit I have the same...ahem...addiction? Or..preservation of future vintage blades...
These are my collection of 45 varieties of blade totally 2000++

My favourite past time now wherever I go is to hunt for special DE blades...
Still missing some famous blades...
Hahahaha....I do have 2 types of Lord blades in my collection (in the picture). The Lord Cool SS blades are very dull whereas the other Blue colour Lord SS is good.You need some Lord blades!
I regret saying this but Roy you are a jerk.You are on a. Forum that is a shaving addiction site and everyone one here is having fun with this and you tell us we have a problem and bring us down....go away!Sorry guys, anyone with enough blades to last 100 years and keep on buying DOES have a problem! Ok, they are not expensive, but you can't even do anything with them except shave. Do you also have loads of soap too? Sor5y if this sounds harsh, but ......
Amen brother.I've got blades enough to last decades. Now if I could figure out a way for me to last decades....
You probably dodged a bullet with the brushes my friend.Without getting into the pros and cons, all I use are vintage blades, I bought them at costs per shave equal or better than modern, which took some doing, and I have something around ten different varieties enough of to last the rest of my life. Call me crazy but I like them way better than modern and it was done to redirect a more costly brush acquisition disorder I felt coming on.
