How many (Physical) DE Safety razor blades do you own?

Too many! (SWBO just noted that there are, "a lot of these things around the bathroom.") Fortunately, they do not take up too much room.

Rough guess is that I do not to buy any for a LONG time.
 
99 Astra Superior Platinum
83 Voskhod
9 Rapira Swedish Supersteel
8 Ladas Super Stainless
8 Gillette Nacet
6 Gillette SharpEdge
3 Asco Super Stainless
2 Sharp Durablade
1 Crystal/ Israeli Personna
1 Dorco ST-300
1 Feather
1 Gillette Super Stainless
1 Gillette Permasharp Stainless
1 Lord Platinum
1 Lord Super Chrome
1 Personna blue wrapper
1 Shark (not sure which kind)
1 Treet Dura Sharp

That makes a total of 228 physical blades. I also have 132 imaginary blades.
 
I just started DE so my collection is small....

1x merkur (came with shaver)
25x astra
50x lord classic
40x croma diamant
5x green 7 o'clock
5x super max plat

Total = 126

Curious, nearly a year later, how many blades do you have now? And how have your tastes changed?
 
Around ~300 ish total. About 75 Voskhod, 25 GSB, 15 Red Personna, 200 Various Vintage types. Glad I read this thread. I thought I was bad at hoarding these things.... :laugh:
 
One day, I was hanging around drinking Scotch, and the third drink told me I should do a razor blade inventory. I got to 3000, before another drink told me to do something else, and I never actually finished the blade inventory. But its over 3000.
 
A couple of hundred blades, mostly Polsilver SIs from the recent 100 pack purchase, whatever Feather High Stainless and Astra SP blades I have left from their hundred pack and various miscellaneous sample blades and SE blades.

I think I am at about 200 now. I get new blades, PIF packs to others so it is hard to track. I better order more soon.
 
I have somewhere around 50. I've picked up a few sampler packs lately and haven't committed to buying in bulk just yet.
Most I've ever had of any one blade was about 30 Merkur blades, but that was before I knew any better :tongue_sm
