What's Your Latest 100 Blade Purchase, And Why?

Well, just got my 100 Astra SP blades from Amazon and they are Indian. I guess I know what blade I will be testing next.
@cranewarrior , I ordered ummmm "some" Treet Dura Sharp blades from Amazon... The price was right. I'll try them when we get back from Bali in a couple weeks... The time is flying by here... and with the internet, I can shop while we're away... What a wonderful world in which we live. <eg>
Eager to hear your impressions, sir.
So, based on the sample size of one blade used 4 times, these Indian made Astras are every bit as good as the old ones.
I have observed most reviews I have seen say the Indian Astras are not identical to the Russian ones, but still are very similar. It's a toss-up whether people prefer one or the other. I think that's a fantastic outcome. Same occurrence with the new Chinese Gillette Platinums. I hope for a similar scenario with the Gillette Silver Blue.
I don’t think I am qualified to recognize minute differences between blades. As far as I can tell, the Indian Astra was sharp and smooth on the first four shaves. Tomorrow I will use it for the fifth and final shave and toss.
Just received 200 Nacets from Jordan. Bought them on ebay from seller "mem8shop". Total cost was $18.98. Took about a month to get to me. Extremely well packaged and the condition of the items was better than I received from some vendors in the US. As always, YMMV.
I've used this seller myself and echo the good feedback.
Now we need some Turkish seller arbitrage so we can get Perma-Sharps cheaply like the Nacets.
I also recently bought 100 Nacets from Jordan.
Well priced, but of course there is customs here in the EU adding some costs and taxes.
Still happy to try them and see how they stack up against the ususual suspects in my den.
Before that, 100 Flydears.

I got to try them late last year. Only used one so far, for an entire week. Super impressed!
Just ordered a bulk pack of 100 KCG blades from Amazon. At $15.94 delivered how could I resist? It didn't say where they were made but presumably China. I've used both Russian and Chinese made KCGs with great results so I'm good either way.
Under options on that we can choose 10 blades for $6.99 or 100 for $15.94
thinking....
Personna Lab Blue Comfort Coated
Tried this blade for the first time the other day, fantastic few shaves! Figured it was worth stocking up on! Will be buying more of these!

Never seen these in anything but tens before, at around 14 AUD with occasional small price reductions.
Hate to spoil a good time but these sound suspiciously cheap.
Edit - I think it's telling that even Razorbladesclub doesn't seem to have a cheap bulk price for KCGs.

@Theodore you could be entirely right, they're normally $6.99 for ten here in the states. At least they're returnable so hopefully I won't find myself up Amazon Creek without a paddle. I'll find out in a couple weeks or so.
On the 10ct it says Russian Federation and the 100ct says USA so I'm guessing they are probably from China and someone's trying to move product!!
Glad you liked them, they are an excellent blade.
Good luck! I wonder what they'll send you?
