Ok enough to recommend a bulk purchase?

I'd buy a 100pk if I got a good deal

ntguy_s sells them for a fair price on EBAY and you can even contact him here, he's a vendor here.

Amazon has them for under $20 shipped for Prime customers - just received mine today.

100 NACET STAINLESS Double Edge Razor Blades https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007FQFIK4/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_wWCMub0G5XB7V

Facet blades have been around for about a century, from what I could tell, but the modern Nacets from Gillette apparently come highly recommended.

I have a sample Nacet, and I'm aching to try it out.

A 'Bulk' purchase for me is the same as a regular purchase, 3 10 packs at a time. The ONLY blade my face has enjoyed enough that I will actually order a 100 lot of is Israel Personna's. The Nacet, after reading this, I have figured I will go for my usual 30 pack order. If they turn out to be better than Indian Gillette sword's, then I'll have two different blades to stock up on, if not, Personna it is.

I thought they were good, but not as smooth as GSB and 7 o'clock Black.

Just had my first shave today with one. A very nice shave. More testing is necessary.

This is interesting - NACET are often available in local convenience/general stores here in Singapore for about 1 dollar per 5 pack... might have to give them a try.

Yes those are the ones... not worth a crack?

I think the ones that were originally mentioned are the stainless steel ones, in the purplish tuck. I read somewhere that the platinum coated ones are not as good.

Ahhh... Once my 3 month gentlemanly restraint is over I might just buy one tuck and give them a run

Both #1 and #2 are avaliable locally. I find #1 agressive/harsh and #2 very smooth .

Yes I got the blacks, thanks. I'm still trying out all the different blades avaliable locally.

Good stuff. .. any thoughts on the blacks? I'll be interested in your thoughts on locally available blades

So far I find the Super nacet (#2) close to the blacks.

I bought the purple pack Nacet in a store in Little India (Singapore) for $1.50 and the red/yellow pack at Haniffa Centre $6.50 for 25 blades. The red/yellow pack one I liked so I bought 50 of them.

12th shave on my first go-round with a Nacet Stainless. It's only now starting to show the very slightest sign of a decrease in performance. A very surprisingly rewarding blind buy.
