In the event of Shavepocalypse, how many DE blades and soaps are enough? Also, curious who holds the record on B&B for most DE blade hoarding.
As many as your can afford would be necessary for me.
Going by my average usage, I would need about 2600 more blades. I might get that by next month.
You can never have too many of either.

Being a member on these boards has taught me that you can never have enough!!!
I would say 10000 blades per person
Ok hang on a minute...I turned 41 two days ago. I predict I will die on my
84th birthday so 43 years to go. I change blades each Sunday morning (kinda a religous act actually) so 52 blades per year...
43
52
2236
I need exactly 2236 blades...and wait for it...my birthday in 2053 is on a Sunday!!!! I am going out on a New Blade!
Now I wonder exactly how much Tabac aftershave I need to order???

I'd have close to 1000 DE blades, 120 SE blades and 70 injector blades. When they run out I've got 5 or 6 straights that will see me through.
I think that I'll survive in regard to cream and soap for quite a few years as well.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I'd be using those straights for all they're worth now, and leaving the DE blades for your dotage. A cut-throat in the hands of the frail aged can be a very terrifying thing.

If I live 25 yrs more @ 1 blade per week, which is what I get now with Iridium and Swedes, I would need 1300 blades and a whole bunch of soap. I better start stockin up. Oh by the way when is this going to happen?
Does someone know something they're not telling me? How long would my 150 feathers last at 4 shaves per blade? Only 2 years, fill my online cart quick!!!!!
Let's see... I'm 20. Let's round up to 21, my birthday is in July.
I change my blade every week.
Average male life expectancy in the USA is 75.6, but I want to move to Canada where it is 78.3.
54.6 * 52 = 2939.2
57.3 * 52 = 2979.6
2839 more blades in the USA
2980 more blades in Canada
Assuming I have an average length life anyway.
Side Note: I only have 115ish right now.

I have 1 more blade left.......guess I need a loan.
You need to either stock up or take up the sport of chain smoking, chainsaw juggling sky-diving.
Do zombies shave? What is the best balm/aftershave for radiation burns?
I use about 100 blades a year. I'm 30 so let's say I have another 50 years or so. 5,000 blades. That's a thousand pounds or less on blades for a lifetime supply, although I think they'd start to deteriorate after the first couple of decades. I'd just need maybe 5 brushes and maybe 50 each of soaps and creams. I'm hoping at least some of the razors I have, which have already seen more than 50 years, will last for another 50.
Right now I've probably got a few hundred blades at most so I'm good for a few years.
Has anyone else switched to cream mainly for the reason it's supposed to deteriorate faster? I've been at this wetshaving game for nearly 2 years and some of the creams I have date from the start of my "career" - don't want any TOBS especially to go to waste!

Shavepocalypse is purely hypothetical, of course 
I am 42, and have about 600 blades, which will probably last me 12 years (one blade per week). My goal is to stockpile 2000 blades, which should keep me smooth faced until I am 82

Most blades, or best blade? Quality over quantity in my book.
I have enough Personna 74's to last my lifetime, plus some to use when I come back.
Now I just need a few gallons of the Veg.
