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

I have about 1100 blades and about 200 more should be all I need.

I like to think of it as hedging against inflation.

Welcome. I just returned to DE blades this year and am narrowing it down to preferred blades. I am only sitting on about 200 assorted. Now soaps are another thing. I can honestly say at my rate of consumption I could go 5-6 years before needing more. Of course I just ordered 6 more because, hey more is better right.

Maybe 150....I don't see the need to stockpile them.

Danged thread! Curiosity got me! 232 if I counted right, though MANY won't be used now due to poor tests.

Hello and welcome to B&B. Great to have you on board. This is a super forum filled with friendly, helpful shavers.

I have about 100 blades. Makes me look like a pauper, evidently.

Hello and welcome to B&B. Great to have you on board. This is a super forum filled with friendly, helpful shavers.

I have about 70 blades which makes me seem like a pauper.

100 Astra sp
80 Personna plats
35 Gillette silver blues
Plan on getting more GSB as they work well with the Schick krona.

About 380:
100 Triton R3,
80 Derby Profesyonel,
40 Astra SP,
160 other blades.

Welcome to the group! I would say I have in the area of 400 blades. 100 Astras, 100 Personna Blue, 100 Wilkinson I absorbed on a trade, and at least 50 Feathers, and various others floating around should bring up to the area of 400. I doubt I will live long enough to use them all....??? Not a youngster anymore!

Enjoy the Forum and best wishes!

Let's say around 370.
Most of those are Astra SP (which is my current go-to blade) and then then there are probably about 50 other blades made up of around 6 brands.

I don't think you have too many at all. You have just enough variety to see whether you like one blade more than the other. Then, if you settle on a preferred blade, you have a small stock to work through before having to buy a new box of those blades. Realistically, you may also start shaving more frequently once you get the hang of things and begin to enjoy the feel and experience.

All-in-all, she sounds like a keeper

Probably 2800 to 3000 blades now. All the good stuff. Gillette 7 o'clock blacks, Personna Reds and Med Preps, Timors, Polsilver SI, etc..
Also have 12-15 premium DE razors and 20-25 that I need to lose. Think I'm about ready for shavepocalypse. Turning my attention now to shoepocalypse, Levipocalypse, papertowelpocalypse, and cerealpocalypse. There's a lot to do.

All of them. I have no virtual blades at all.

Somewhere around 2000, most of them being vintage.

Warm welcome to the forum. 15 most important blades in rotation sum at the moment around 2000 blades = 12 years of every day shaving. + 2nd tier options + others. 48 different blades
Top ten blades marked with smiley and how many

400 Astra SP
400 Perma-Sharp
Assorted tucks of other stuff.

100 GSB's
100 Voskhods
100 7:00 Yellows
50 or so asst.

I'm too scared to inventory. I don't want to know. Comfortably in the four figures. A lot of vintage (Spoilers mainly)

Around 500. 190 Astra SPs, 225 Med Preps, 95 Feathers.

Will trade Med Preps for more Astra SPs, if anyone is interested.

A I have a few various tucks and a while back I bought several 100ct. packs of the following brands:

Crystal
Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow
BIC Chrome Platinum
Wilkinson Sword
Personna Reds
Astra SP Green
Shark Super Chrome

Based on 6 shaves / blade, shaving daily (365 days/year), a conservative estimate is that I have enough blades to last me over 29 years! Too many blades???

I think I got it BAD (Blade AD)!!!!

500, all Shark SC
