where do you guys buy your 100 packs from like who has the best deal
I use many types of blades but I would probably say that Derbys are my standby blade. 
If I run out (yeah, like that's gonna happen) I only have access to Feathers locally.

Astra Superior Platinum! Smooth (after the first shave), very predictable and work well in multiple razors.
Of course, I am awaiting a package containing Iridium Supers and I have an open mind....

After trying just about all the major favorite brands (Derbys, Astras, Crystals, RIPs), I've settled on Bluebirds, Gillette Bleues and Super Irridiums as my main choices.
If the ORIGINAL POSTER wants to try these brands, I'll PIF a couple of each to him.

I have a large variety of brands, but if I had to choose only one, it would be red pack Personna. 
I started with Feathers and I love the close shaves they give me. So Feather it is.
For some reason, I've sort of bonded with Derby. My best ever shaves have been with them, but I say "for some reason" because I don't actually notice a huge difference between blades.
From feather, Personna, Astra, Merkur, Derby ... I seem to be unable to tell a big difference.
My guess is that my very mild shavers tend to swamp the blade differences.

I am happy with my Derby's.

I ended up buying them last night but thanks for the offer
The Astra-SP if I had to pick one. It does seem to work in all my razors quite well.
It is strange for example that using a Dorco 301 in a Black Handle Super Speed works great. However using the 301s in a Flare Tip or Red Tip just doesn't give me a DFS.
Getting back to the Astras. They work well or great in all my razors.

Sharks. I've tried a couple others, but pretty much stopped experimenting after I got to the Sharks. They work well enough that trying something else would only really be a marginal improvement if one at all. They're inexpensive enough that I could go with them for life and not feel like I made a tremendous error.
To be honest it is usually hard to find better deals on blades then the vendors have on this site.
Badger & Blade > The Marketplace > Shopping and deals > Vendor Corner.
You can always post a WTB ad in the B/S/T section and someone will point you in the right direction on the best deal for particular blades.
Shark Super Chromes
Feather, Astra SP, Shark SS
So far I have only ordered packs of 100.
Isreali Red Pack
Astras
Derbys
Iridiums
Sharks
They are way cheaper, but I split them with a couple of friends.
