I love this brand! I don't claim to have tried every brand available, but to me, Bolzanos are right up there with Feathers for sharpness. I have yet to find a source in the states that offers them in quantity pricing, though.
Bolzano blades

Bolzano's are very good blades. I rotate between the Bolzano and Timor blades. These are the only 2 blades that really work for me and I have tried most of the current production blades.

As for bulk discount, Try Phil at Bullgoose shaving. He doesn't show bulk pricing for Bolzanos blades in his on-line store, but I am sure he can work out a deal with you. He gave me a very good deal when I bought the blades in bulk.

I just bought a pack of these, and haven't been impressed yet. I'll keep trying, but they just haven't been very smooth.
Only had one shave with a bolzano and wasn't real impressed with it. Will try it in my #15 aristocrat today and see if I get any better results.
Feathers are my preferred blade, and I thought they always would be, but my recent acquisition of Bolzanos has changed that. I still give the edge in sharpness to the feather, but it is much more forgiving in my opinion.

My favourite DE razor blade along with the Red pack Israeli Personna and the Shark Super Chrome.

Bolzano blades are a good performing blade for me also.
Every now and again, I throw one of these into the slim and I'm reminded of how good they are. Germany makes good blades. Timor, Bolzano and Souplex (this is my dopp blade, lately) are all very high on my own scorecard. German wilks seem to get high marks, even.
Oh, and +1 on working with Phil at Bullgoose.

I think the feathers are sharper indeed, but not by much and only during the first shave with a blade. The Bolzano's give me 4 good shaves while a second one with a feather has the risk I have to toss the blade mid-shave. Cannot agree on the Bolzano's forgiveness though; I think the Feathers are more forgiving but I have no problems with either blade here.
The Bolzano's are not my first choice mainly because there are blades that give me the same quality of shave but feel smoother on my skin. It is one of those brands in my 'waiting room'; when one of my current favs gets discontinued they will get a closer look again.
The Bolzano seems to be the perfect blade for my Futur. Set at 3.0 or so, I get very, very close and comfortable shaves. That hasn't been my experience with Bolzanos in the Feather AS. There they are above average, but not quite perfect. However, the Bolzano, first time and every time, in the Futur has been my preferred combo. A Shark SS in the Feather comes close at a fraction of the blade cost.
Just tried Bolanzo's for the first time today. If I could not get Feathers or Super Iridiums they might be my go-to blade. Very smooth and a BBS shave (in an HD). They pull a little more than a Feather or SI but not much. I'll have to try them in all my razors, but since they cost more than Feathers, I don't see any reason to change.
shoebox shaving sells the Bolzano in bulk.
Where do you still get Super Iridiums?
I keep my eyes open looking for someone who doesn't like them or find them on Ebay occasionally.
I'll probably find I have a large supply bought at too high a price when they re-appear in the market again.
Shaving.ie has them listed in their bulk blades section also. They have 200-packs of Timors listed.
Mensroombarbershop.com is where I get mine. Pretty good prices compared to others out there. Fantastic blades, Love 'em
