Shoot, looks like they corrected their ad, now it's $24.73 for 120 blades. Not bad, but not killer...Jason, it's still going on.

Yet another wet shaving item gone up in price. It's not a terrible price hike but nowhere near as good as the original $14 plus. I'll make sure to stretch my 120 piece stash.
I'll second the experience with the Blue Stars, I found keeping them in a cool dry place helps with the rust, so does a dry pat and mineral oil .Thanks Tom.
I'll just add that my experience with the Blue Stars led me to call them the Vega of SE Blades - they start rusting in the box.
The Feather blades will work "spineless" in some of the Gem/Star/Ever-Ready SE razors and can be used in others by adding a spine from an SE blade. Before using a Feather blade test it to make sure the blade doesn't slide backwards in the frame, the spine on an SE helps hold the blade in place.The only vendor I know of that currently stocks the Feather blade is www.razorbladesandmore.com
Maggard carries the stainless steel Feather blades as does the OneBlade. Best prices though I have seen have been from ebay sellers shipping from Japan. They are about the only source for the carbon steel blades if wanted
The OP mentions storing carbon steel blades with a cotton ball and sometimes a desiccant pack. Another option is a sealed container containing VCI paper (available from Amazon). This is a rust preventative paper product designed to wrap carbon steel items to prevent rusting. I recently received a NOS CV Heljestrand wedge razor blade wrapped in it, in still new condition. A pack of 1000 4" x 4" sheets is $16.20 on Amazon and should be enough for you and an army of friends. Store the paper in a sealed Ziploc bag to prevent loss of effectiveness long term.
