picked up a 100 of the Vi-John Super Platinum from IB for 3 bucks, not a bad blade for 3 bucks you can't go wrong.
What's Your Latest 100 Blade Purchase, And Why?

After buying 250 Russian Wizamet iridium and shaving with it, I bought 1000 more.

Picked up 405 Spoilers from the bay.
That's quite a score, at a good price I assume.

Thanks — $40 plus shipping.
My 1st 100 - Feather...why?because I just can't resist. They're cheap & easily found in the many mini markets at the place where I went for a short work trip.....
Don't need it but want it...hahahaha

100 Bic Chrome Platinums for the wife... sharpness ratings report to be in the feather range of the scale...
I’ve been seeing those around more. Curious about them.
Cool at a mini-mart. Would never see that where I am in the east Bay Area. Where abouts are you btw?
The reviews for Parker blades are good so I thought I'd try them.
Mine was a 100 pack of Voskhods. I find them to be very smooth and comfirtable.
Hi...the place where I found all the boxes of Feathers are in Doha...incredible indeed. The price is only QR54 equal to
usd14.8 per box of 100. How can a wet shaver ever resist? My previous trip there I bought 'only' 7 tucks of 5. This time...just seeing those boxes lying where they are almost untouched...I feel it is my duty to help....
hahahahaha...
I liked the 10 Parkers that came with my Parker 98R. Would buy again. Hope they work well for you.
For context, in DEs I use OCs and slants almost exclusively.
100 blade purchases to date, in order:
All my 100 DE orders come after hitting a sampler tuck I really like. I still have over half of my self-chosen 20 sampler tucks unopened. I hand out blades to my sons, so multiple 100s make at least a little sense.
Astra SP - first blade in my sampler that I thought could be a daily driver. Recently, I was mostly giving them, a tuck at a time, to my oldest son. He just bought 300 for less than $8 per 100.
Rapira Platinum Lux - ready for a little sharper, was sticking with Russia for the moment, but picked a Ladas favorite.
GEM Stainless PTFE - really, this is the only SE blade worth owning in bulk. The carbon GEMs have a very short life. I haven’t opened this 100 yet, since some of my vintage SEs came with a tuck, and the stainless GEMs give a lot of quality shaves per blade.
Supermax Blue Diamond - nice and sharp, a little edgier than the Rapira PL. It was time to move beyond Russia.
Feather Hi-Stainless - just for the SHARP. Not a daily for me. If the price was lower and the wax blobs were smaller, maybe I would consider them for every day. They give the fewest shaves per blade of any of my 100s.
Voskhod (won a PIF, but I do like Voskhods) - just lucky I guess.
So far, no disappointments. Right now I’m afraid to dive into the sampler tucks for fear I’ll buy another 100. There are still many well-regarded blades in the sampler queue.

Tatra Platinum - check them out if you haven't heard of them yet. They seem to be a new blade from the Czech Republic. I've only used one so far but that first blade was really good. Like GSB good - no kidding.
I’m still waiting on mine that I ordered last year!!!!!
Last 100 pack was Voskhod. I read a lot about them being smooth so gave them a shot a few months ago cos they were under $10. They did not disappoint. I find them very smooth and they work well in the handful of razors I have.

100 Tatra Platinum.
Very affordable and rumor says they are good. Worth a try.
