I am thinking about buying 100 of 7 o' clock yellows. I have so many blades now but these are are so good.
What's Your Latest 100 Blade Purchase, And Why?

Remember to forget me!
I'll probably not be buying any more 100 packs of blades, as I've started buying them in 15s or 25s at a time instead. Slightly less cost effective, but there's several reasons for this.
I only use about 25 to 30 blades a year, and already have a few hundred to hand (500+). Blades are one of the few things I don't mind having a variety of, and there's several blades I wanted to keep in the arsenal.
By moving to lower quantities like this, I've got a good supply of several favourites, plus a few others in smaller amounts, whilst still keeping the overall quantity at a level that would be realistic for me to actually use up one day (enough to keep me shaving till I'm 65)
Tucks are kept in a small cardboard box kept in the bedroom, which limits the amount of purchases (no spending if there's no room in the box), and orphaned blades from opened tucks go in a small tupperware tub in the bathroom, for picking out the next blade from.
The small ziploc bag is what's left of the test queue, and that lives in the tub too. I think that's down to about 10 blades (so there's still a chance I might want to get a couple more brands in stock at some point) and there's about 25 loose (orphaned) blades in the tub as well. All I need to do as time goes by, is keep topping up the tub from the tucks, as the blades get used up, and make sure I don't buy more tucks than will fit in the box. I feel much happier doing this than buying multiple 100 packs, and having an array I couldn't possibly use up.

Reason: Good blades

I recently bought 100 Gillette Platinum and 100 Rapira Platinum Lux blades from Razor Emporium because I appreciate a sharp, quality blade. I enjoy both Gillette and Rapira blades very much.

200 polsilver super iridium
Liked the longevity of it

Purchased 100 Rapira platinum lux on sale for $8.00. Never tried them before so I took a chance because they were from a reputable dealer at a good price, so if I don't like them I will just pif them to another.
Astra SP
Reason: They are my favorite

Got great deals on Astra SPs and Feather blades. 200 each on Amazon Prime. Shaving 3-4x a week, week per blade I am set for the next 7.6 years.
I bought 400 Voshkods, 200 Rapira Platinum Lux, 200 Lab Blues, and 100 Astra SPs.
I am set for a while, but I make no promises not to buy more blades.
I just wish that Astra was not owned by Gillette.

Me too, but the Astas are great blades!
Personna Lab Blue - they just work in all my razors and I give them to new DE shavers as a base-line blade.
Lord Captains - because I want to try some carbon blades.
I'm waiting for a box of Derby Usta to arrive.
Why? I've had really good luck with all the Derby variants in the past, and it seemed worth a ten-spot to check out the new ones.

100 Dorco Prime and 100 Gillette Silver Blue.
I like them both and Amazon Canada has them for $8.80 and $15.95 CAN shipped. ($6.53/11.84USD)

100 Rapira Platinum Luxs....as after sampling them, they were the perfect blade for me. Plus needed a few other things and the vendor had them for $7.99...so it just made sense to add to order.
