    Roughly 2,000

    One blade lasts me two weeks (I only do one pass) so they should last me 'til my 110th birthday.

    Over 500 for me. Didn't want to keep too many in case they deteriorate in storage

    A little over a 100 now but probably 8 different makes. I like to keep my stubble confused!

    About 1100. Mostly Derby. That might be enough until I check out, but we'll see. I keep eyeballing other brands.

    I just counted. I have 7. Each lasts me one week. Will probably buy 5 more in a couple of weeks.

    Around 700. I go through one a week, so these should last until I'm about 74.
    Hmm, I'm probably going to live into my early 90s. Maybe I better stock up!

    I have less than 100, but I'm still new in the whole DE game. Planning to get a supply of Derbys next time I order something. I need to order some feathers to try out just to see if they are as good as everyone says.

    Wow! Currently 37% of people have less than 100 blades. I will warn you now, you are running dangerously low. If the Shavepocalyse occurs and cartridges take over your days of smooth BBS shaves will be numbered.

    I have about 180-190 blades in total:
    120 or so Feathers
    20 or so Red Personas
    10 or so Derbys
    10 Astra Superior Platinums
    25 Franklins "No Frills" Stainless Steel Razor Blades, not bad value actually I bought 10x10 packs @ $1.99 ea when the local Franklins became IGA, the boxes are marked "Product of USA" and "Satisfaction Guaranteed". They perform about the same as the Wilkinson Swords that Coles sell for $10.95.
