If every single blade of those go to 100+ shaves this is more than 27 years worth of shaving and the 20$ are a very good price per shaving if not taking into account the negligible expenses on occasional acquisition of razors, soap, brushes, aftershaves and so on...

Hard not to buy them at that price. Beware though, some sites still list them as being from England when in fact the blades they have are German. I trust you already know that and are confident in your source--but just mentioned it in case (and for others who might see this later). BTW, care to share the source with a link? I might jump on an order of those, too.
I keep finding them at $40 (shipped) for $50 blades. Too $$ Imho.

I got another 100 when I got past 40 shaves on the one I did unwrap so now have 200 blades to use.
Well, I just read this entire thread. WOW is about all I can say. I can get 3 good shaves out of my Personna Lab Blues. If I push the 4th shave, most of the time I regret it. 104 & still going - amazing.
I messaged the seller first to confirm. Random score on ebay was the source
Lucky you! I'd wish you'd share the seller with us.
Schnykies! That means you have 20,000 shaves just to get through your Wilkie supply?
You'd better get crackin', mister.

Oh lordy help me.... Back to the Wilkie once again and all I can say is "It ain't over until the fat lady sings"........
Shave #105 and it's still a strong, sharp, smooth, blade.

Yes, that is the brisk. It has a nice menthol kick but has some other nice scents mixed in with it. I like it and use it often. About as long lasting as Clubman which is nice if you like the scent (which I do). Easy to find locally.
i don't recall ever seeing this. What stores can one find this AS in?
Menthol! sweet! and I do like clubman, very much. I think I picked up another fine AS
I've only seen it at one store around here. Woodmans, but they are only located in IL and WI.
Dollar general has it for 1.75
