I hope I find a cheaper blade to like
Any decent prices online? I am seeing like 50 cents a blade.
They tend to be the most expensive of the bunch in my findings. I believe there is a seller on ebay that sells them in fairly large quantity(100s or more lots). This would probably be the cheapest way of getting them.
I just reviewed these. Great blades, but sharper than I need. My favorite are the IP/Crystals and Derby. The Dorcos are great as are the Treet blues. For me, the Sweedes are just not worth 5-7 times the price of other blades. If you dont need the sharpness, why pay for it?
I've been trying various blades from a sample pack and have found these to be the closest to Swedish Gillettes in terms of sharpness & smoothness. Cost per blade is less than $.15.

I recently purchased 200 from a very highly rated eBay seller.

Good luck,

Thanks for the tip, what sampler did you find them in?
They're here:

I bought the leftovers of the extra large sampler, so am methodically going thru them all to identify the closest to a Swedish Gillette. So far the Sharp is it. Once I've tried them all, I'll put the rest up for sale here.
I can send you a couple of the Sharps to try out - since I now have well over 200. Send me a mailing address via pm and I'll put them in the mail.
