My remaining stash of Swedes

[jpkunst]

689 blades.
A new blade every 10 days.
6890 days to go (not counting the blade that is now in my razor) = 18 years and 320 days to go.

What then?

Indeed, what then...

So are you telling us this because you plan on sharing with the rest of the class, or is this some variation on Eddie Murphy's famous "I got some ice cream!" bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JfMCBh1sJQ ?

Did you bring some for the rest of the class?

... Then I will either switch to Iridiums (I have a few hundred of those also, I used to alternate Swedes and Iridiums, but I decided to finish the Swedes first, as I'm a minimalist and I want as little variation as possible from one shave to another) or see if there is anything else available. I wonder if there will still be sample packs available in 18 years.

I'm not sure that I'd consider a stockpile of nearly a thousand blades as "minimalist".

You're lucky, I only have 19 left... Just tossed number 20 away today, it was still usable after 2 weeks (about 7 shaves), but was getting a bit dull. Great blades, too bad they're not produced any more.

Doesn't Wil use a fresh blade for every shave? If so, he'll finish this lot in about 27 years. Not impossible. (Assuming daily shaves).

 

[johnmrson]

I've got about 145 Swedes but overall, I've got well over 1000 vintage blades and around 600-700 modern blades.

In the Feather AS I can use all blades twice (at least), but as I shave twice a day, you are right. Only enough for about 27 years. Should get some more, but I am on a shaving sabbatical this year

Phew...and I thought he had 10,000 Swedes...now wouldn't that be nice.

That would have been a very easy break down . I prefer inexpensive, yet effective blades. Swedes are too expensive for me

Wow, and I thought I was bad.

I have a 5 year supply of Swedes, Super Stainless, and Blues combined. You got me beat!
