It seems I should have made the poll so people could change their votes. OH WELL.

 

[Bateman]

Some of you guys have enough blades to open a small store.

 

[5savages]

If I could I'd change my vote. I'll get 400 new blades tomorrow, putting my total at over 1200.

That is what we like to hear!!!

 

[VerbaVolant]

I have 3400 and some change (3200 in storage and a sleeve of Feathers in the mail, should arrive any day now).
I am in the category that doesn't need a new poll to update the count.

I think I have too few Astras, trouble is I cannot get them here for less than $16 shipped.

And they arrived. Here's the happy (mostly) Russian family:

For the newbies on here, where do you guys like to buy your blades?

I almost automatically put the 0-200 option because for the longest time, thats the way I was. Now though, I have some Gem SE blades that, along with my modest DE and Injector put me comfortably into the 2 to 400 category.

Interesting poll-results. Did anyone take a look at the graphics? From the 0-200 option (with over 36% of the votes) it goes down steadily till you hit the 1,000+ option which peaks again with 22% of the votes.

Those who like a little stash around clearly like 4 figures (or more...) before they sleep well at night!

I have around 150 Shark SC (my one & only 'go-to'), Blades.

“A razor [blade] can’t be sharpened on a piece of velvet”. Author Unknown

Agreed. That is my go-to blade as well. I'm getting those suckers for 17 cents a piece.

It largely depends on what blade(s) you like.

 

[Useless shaver]

Just 200 Feathers, about 90 Wilkinson, and 90 Red Personnas. Blade starvation!

Have you tried BestShave.net? They have Astra SP for $8 per sleeve and they ship internationally with very reasonable rates.
