How Big is your Blade Stash?

This thread just made me order 100 more Polsilver Super Iridium blades.

300 more in the last two weeks...

100 Derby Premium 
100 Permasharp
91 Wilkinson Sword (India)
100 Rockwell Razors
approximately 70 of different brands

Should be set for a 1-2 years. 

Just bought a Schick Injector type M from a garage sale. Am looking for some blades for this razor. Also need to figure out how to clean and sanitize the razor, as it does not open like the type D to make it easy to clean the gap where the blade goes.

I've been buying them faster than I can use them.  I realized I need to stop buying blades for at least 10 years just to make a dent in my existing stash.

Optimism.

+ 1000's  

I just calculated my stock and realized that I have now reached a stash of 67 yrs of shaving with a blade change every 3-4 shaves. It is just ridiculous to accumulate this much an inventory. I may still buy more still...

I have approximately 400 blades of various manufacture.  

I envy you guys who get more than 3 shaves out of a single blade.  I have extremely coarse hair and most blades only provide me two comfortable shaves.

Good news for those who have a large blade stash....  
In the post-apocalyptic future, razor blades will be more valuable 
than gold !!!!!   

WE ARE RICH...

I have about 10 different DE blades in the stash, Gillettes, Voshod, Astras, Persona, Polsilver, Perma-sharp, Wilkinson Sword, all 5 packs )one each) and some old new stock Gillette and Schick (3 each).
I'm just getting started.

Approximately 2,500 NOS vintage blades from the Golden era.  All the usual suspects.

Only 120 Kai blades.  I experimented for a few years and would always return to Kai.  IMHO, Kai is the best combination of smooth and sharp.

I just re-counted my blades after selling some and found that I still have enough for more than 19 years of shaving, and I'm 70 years old.  I've promised my wife that I will stop wet shaving by the time I reach age 80.  What to do...

1) Shave more than 1x a day
2) shave legs
3) PIF PIF PIF

I just bought 200+ which should last hmmm...300 to 1,000 days?

Well guess you can leave them to grandsons or use them as dowery for granddaughters. Unless she is into wet-shaving. Then leave it to her.

Probably less. The benefits of using the same blades that are in current production.

Currently, around 800. Mostly Gillette 7 o'clock Black, Yellow, Silver Blue. Also Polsilver, Perma-Sharp, Feather, Voskhod Teflon, Treet, Crystal Personna. Gillette Black and Silver Blue is what I reach for most of the time, but Perma-Sharp and 7 o'clock Yellow will find its way to my razor from time-to-time. The other blades in my collection seem to be collecting dust and I know I'll never reorder them. I also have this problem with too many of my shave soaps. Oh well...

This is beautiful!

Do you find the London bridge to be the same as the light brigades?
