Where do most of you buy your blades?

[Dimitri]

I try more and more to buy as little as possible off of Amazon, preferring to go with the "little guy" instead. Plus, Amazon doen't appear to vet for quality like they did years ago when they first started. A lof of counterfeit products to be had, so I really limit what I buy from them now. I stumbled across Geo Fatboy's videos and they made me start enjoying wet shaving again and seeing it as a great hobby. I thought I'd order some supplies from him as a sort of thank you. I ordered everything but blades. My favorite blades are the comfort coated Personna's (I believe these are what everyoe refers to as "Lab Blues"), German Wilkinson Swords, and Bic CP's. I was going to order blades from him and then noticed quite a discrepancy in price between the Bic Astors and CP's. 5 packs are the same price for either of those, but there's a significant price difference when buying a pack of 100. Since I've already received items from him, I consider him a trustworthy source, but want to find another source for blades. I've compiled a list based on some old threads I've dug up here. Can you guys let me know if these vendors are GTG and if there are any others I can add to the list? (or avoid for that matter).

I've gotten most of mine from Pheonix Shaving and West Coast Shaving. there's definitely a lotta sites out there. Henson sells a blade tower and i hear that their blades are amazing.

I have bought most of mine from either Ebay or Amazon. That being said, Fendrihan has lab blues and Wilkinson Sword.

I’m still working through my first 100 blade sampler pack from Amazon

eBay has been great and sadly Amazon has had some great deals, some 100 blades are 39.99 on regular shaving sites and $20 on Amazon. I can justify a $5 swing but 50% off is far too significant to ignore

Amazon, Razor Blades Club, Italian Barber.

The 'Zon.

I mostly use vintage blades so eBay has been a major source. After that it would be Amazon and B&B.

 

[AshleyC]

Historically, it has been Amazon, then Aliexpress, in terms of numbers, then razorbladesclub.com.

As much as I hate to admit it, put me in the Amazon camp. They not only usually have a great range of DE/SE blades but their prices usually beat everyone else's. And since I'm a Prime customer I can usually get them in 1 or 2 days.
I was ordering blades from Pasteur's Pharmacy in NYC. Great service and they have an amazing selection and when I got on board, they feature free shipping. But, sadly, that policy changed so now you pay shipping, which can sometimes be more than the price of the blades if you're just ordering a small sampler.

If my mom and pop owned a store, I wouldn't shop there. So I have no problem buying from big retailers. I like using Ebay for razor blades.

I order Personna - now AccuTec - from medical/lab suppliers.
However, I have a solid year (at least) worth of others from samplers when I first started DE shaving .... I'll mix those in here and there until they are gone.
