I like them. They get really smooth after the first couple of shaves.
You made a great choice. I doubt you'll be disappointed. It's become one of my favorite blades.
I just did some sanity check.
If I rotate the top six blades in my stash (counting Astra SP Russian vs Indian separately), use each blade 5 times, and shave 360 days per year, a 100 blades of any one type will last over 8 years.
I have all but the Yellows in excess of a 100.
I think I really should stop at this point…

8 years will be here before you know it.
A $100 of blades would give you another decade of shaving with your favorite blades. I hate change so I often buy a lifetime supply of my favorite items if I find a good deal or they are being discontinued.
500 x Dorco Prime STP-301
$40 shipped is why!

I ordered 200 Feathers today from Pasteur’s Pharmacy. I did it because of the thread in the Deals forum.
Feathers are my favorite blade.

Nice find.
100 7’oclock yellows, too.
I had credit so they were 3 dollars. I couldn’t pass them up.

I picked up another hundred Personna GEMs. The good ones.. PTFE coated, stainless.
I've 299 of them now.
Three boxes of 100 of which I've opened one and only used one blade from it! I think 300 should likely last me a lifetime, because well, as much as I love GEM razors, I do tend to use regular DEs much more than GEMs and do I own far more DE razors than GEMs also.
I'd heard they've rebranded the Personnas to "Accutech" (or something).. apparently they're the exact same blades in different packaging but you know, I figure it's better to be certain.. especially as the GEM blade selection is so limited these days.
Plus the fact, even if they are the same as before, whenever they change the packaging you always have the question in the back of your mind "are these as good as they were?"
The psychological aspect.
Got a few Feather Artist Clubs also.. just the standard, regular Professionals.

They were bought by a private equity company and rebranded. Some believe they really only wanted the MedPrep line to charge higher rates to doctor’s offices for mole removal and surgical prep.I picked up another hundred Personna GEMs. The good ones.. PTFE coated, stainless.

I suspect that the period in which they were allowed to use the “Personna” name was to expire shortly or had expired.
I may have around a thousand blades, but sometimes I get the impression that some of us define “razor blade vault” like this:

The Personna brand name actually belongs to Edgewell and they moved Mfg'g to overseas though I don't recall the reason for that at this time... The blades have been Mfg'd by AccuTec for Edgewell for some time now but that partnership has disolved.
In the last 2 weeks, 500 Perma-Sharps, 200 Personna Comfort Coated, and 250 AccuForge. I’m thinking about grabbing another 300 Personna.
Wow ! This amount lasts at least 50 years for me
Bic Chrome Plats. I got them because Feathers don't last a damn for me.
Due to the Super-Max factory being shut down and not knowing how long their blades will be available, I ordered both the Platinum and Blue Diamond blades. Those two are at the top of my list of the Super-Max blades.
