Astra SP x 200
Why ? Because they are a great value right now, and it’s my benchmark blade. Not because it’s the best, but because it’s the one I know I can reliably get a good shave with.

My latest 100 purchase was Gem SS PTFE SE blades from Connaught for my Damaskeene.
100 x Derby USTA
Why? Curiosity, some say they are better than Derby Premiums which i like btw., some say they are the same as the Premiums and just branded differently and others claim they are not nearly as good. Some say they are thick others claim they are very thin. So i decided to order some and find out for myself if i like them or not.
100 x Derby Premiums
Why? I like them and just in case it's true that they are to be replaced by the USTA blades.
100 x Dorco Titan
Why? They were really cheap, and my experience with Dorco blades is limited, so i decided to give them a try.

Just bought 100 pc of GEM Personna SS PTFE blades for my ever expanding collection of GEM razors.
Just a great sharp blade.
Have some great shaves!

Got 200 BIC Chrome Plats. I wanted a sharp blade that wasn't a Feather or Nacet and the BICs were decently priced at $9 for 100.
Astra SP because they have a great reputation. I don't intend to buy anything else in the future.
Now where have we heard that before?
JK. If you like them, stick with them, much to the dismay of all the local enablers.

Also, I don't intend to buy any other soap besides Williams.

Personna lab blues. They were just delivered today in fact! Why did I buy them though? That's a good question. I didnt get any in my last blade sampler, and I've never used one... but from going over countless reviews this seems on par with the blades I DO prefer out of my sampler pack. Add in the whole "made in the USA" thing and I decided to pull that trigger. I guess I'll see if I made a $13 mistake tomorrow!
Yes, I just bought 200 and will probably buy another 2-300 soon (just like ammo, you never know when it is going to suddenly disappear or double in price).
After all my experimentations with blades in my 10-brands sample order, Astra SP is the only one to consistently produce an irritation free, BBS or near grade shave day after day. Switching out inevitably results in nicks and red spots.
Israeli Personna Red. They're sharp, smooth, and last for two weeks without much dropoff. At the rate I go through them, I currently have a five year's supply.
