What's Your Latest 100 Blade Purchase, And Why?

[Cyanshine]

I got another sleeve of Astra SP’s... through my wife! She bought them to carve into the bread dough... even though she knows I buy them for shaving... she used three before deciding it wasn’t effective and then I told her how I think the Platinum coating might not be the best ingredient for the dough... she’ll try to find a knife for that now...
So now I have another 97 blades! Not bad.

Perhaps you could suggest she try several different types of blade, since you could always make use of the ones she doesn’t find effective enough!

Great idea! She’d have to consult me first, though. Don’t want any Teflon in my bread!
There was a post recently in The Mess Hall about something similar, apparently slicing the bread dough kills the edges, so don’t shave afterwards with the same blade!

Edit: found the post!

Bread -

A few months back I dried out some starter on silpats and stored it in mason jars. I thought I'd make a couple of loaves on this long weekend. So I started my starter, so to speak, a couple of days ago. Seems to have worked. I've got a couple doughs rising now . . . one with a bit of whole...

Feather FHS-10 blades for the OneBlade razor that is my new favorite razor.

So I started a 9th shave with the Derby Usta, and found 8 was as far as it would comfortably go. So I replaced it after the first pass with a fresh blade from a much earlier 100-blade purchase, an Astra SP. Another great blade, though I understand it's changed in recent times.

Picked up a 100 pack of Gillette Wilkinson Sword, mainly because at 6.52 per 100 on Amazon, kind of a steal. One day delivery with prime. Pretty well established blade. So why not.

RBC is selling 100 Voskhod‘s for 5.98 shipped on Amazon
Nice blades, not the sharpest but smooth

Personna Reds. I really enjoy them and they are getting hard to find here in Australia. Way too expensive, similar to feathers.

Personna Gold and derby premium half for the Razorock eco, a 100 each, picked up from daily deals of Italian Barber

Derby Premium. Because my R41 loves them and I like giving my razor treats when it's well behaved.

100 Feather blades, because I think they're awesome, and were only $14.28!

Likewise scored the $14.43 flash Feather deal on Amazon for the 100 pack. Just got them today. Very pleased.

Gillette (dark blue) Platinums. I wanted to try something different, and the price was right.

I need to try the Rubies. Strangely I have never seen them in Canada. I might have to order some from Razorbladesclub but shipping takes forever.

Me too (2 sleeves). The sheer value for these legendary blades explains why. But want to thank the B&B community for the thread announcing this outrageous deal.

I missed it! Do they go on sale often? That's a great price.
