Best price for buying one hundred GSB blades

[Pinto90]

What do you think should be the best price for the one hundred blade stick of GSBs?
I went to the shopkeeper yesterday and for the whole pack of one hundred GBS he asked me € 14 ~ $15.0594

Is this a good price? I only got 5 packs, he sells them €1 for a single pack.

That is a decent price. It fluctuates but the AMZ seller I use is around $14.35 per 100.

I checked well on Italian AMZ and noticed that GBS are not sold on the European AMZ.

That's why I was asking.

On RCB they cost too much 26€ for 100 the new versions, even almost 30€ the old ones.

 

[Pinto90]

I found them on Ebay 12€ for 100 to add shipping comes to 16-17€. Not that it's too much of a difference but I want to get a few hundred and stock up, since the price is good I will get them from the local seller in my town.

 

[Pinto90]

They returned to AMZ Italy with only one available package priced at €31.90 plus almost three euros for shipping costs.


Luckily at my local store I can find them at a much lower price, they haven't arrived yet.
with €28 I get two hundred GSB blades

That seems the going price. This is what I got charged for my most recent subscription order from Amazon.

I don't know what exactly is the right market price and the correct valuation for GSB blades.
Certainly thirty-five euros total including shipping costs for one hundred pieces seems excessive to me.
The same seller has an online store and sells the new version GSB at € 23.50/100 while on the Razorbladeclub web page they are offered and quoted at 26.95/100
They seem too high to me and the old GSBs cost a little more.
I have to call the local seller to remind him to quickly get other packs of one hundred GSBs at that price of € 14/100 is fine, I would even take many more.

Yeah, I'm getting a 100 every month as long as the Russian ones are available.

In the US, they are about $15/100 on Amazon. Stayed at this price since at least May. So this seems rather expensive.

As an alternative, have you looked at Nacets ? I like them a little more than GSBs, but find both to be very similar. There's a few Jordanian eBay sellers that are selling them for $30+ per 300, which is a whole lot cheaper.

If you confirm that that is the average price of GSBs blades at that price I found them in a local shop in my city, however I ordered two hundred pieces and they have yet to arrive so I was a little worried and I looked for the cheap GSB blades price on AMZ, Ebay or other sites.
In fact, thirty-five euros is too much, you're right, if Nacet are similar to GSBs I'll look for them.
At the same time, I have not lost hope that next week several blocks of new GSBs will arrive at the shop in my city.

 

[Pinto90]

The guy at the shop just told me that GSB blades will no longer be coming to their shop in full blocks of one hundred blades.
He only had the last eight packs left from the previous remainder which I obviously purchased.

 

[cranewarrior]

Have you tried eBay?

Have you tried eBay? There are still deals to be had there, at least on the USA site. I would be patient and use a price watcher on eBay and Amazon and stock up when they match your target price.

If you are running out of blades, use another model or brand until you can find GSBs at a suitable price. I found the Chinese King C Gillette blade very similar to the Russian Gillette Platinum and it is a decent (not perfect) substitute for the GSB for me. Or try the Dorco Prime at probably a substantial discount from the GSB.

You're making me want to buy another pack to add to my 700, LOL.

In addition to having several GSB blades I still have just under two hundred Treet King blades, a hundred Abest Durable blades, Asco Super Stainless and a few packs of Dorco Titan for at least the next four to five years I think I'm fine.
For four years I can survive without buying more blades.
I want to stock up on the Russian GSB blades first in case they move production to India or China in the future as has happened with other Gillette blades.
I don't like the Gillette Platinum blades but I will try looking for the Nacet ones on Ebay too.

Yeah those Jordanian Nacets are a great deal.

We're frankly spoiled for choices and blades are so cheap it's easy to hoard them.

No confirmation of this yet that I know of, but I would almost bet it will happen with the GSB, like it happened with the Platinum and the KCG. All three blades are marketed to western countries and sanctions would have made even paying employees or for product difficult. Nacets, Perma-Sharps seem immune.

Is there a seller from Jordan on Ebay?
At what price do you sell packs of 100 blades?

I have used mem8shop in the past. Prices seems to have increased by a dollar or two, but in the past I bought 600 at once for $8 per 100. There was a Jordanian member here that said they cost $2.50 - $3.00 locally, so I thought $8 was a good deal for me while allowing enough profit for the seller to want to continue to sell Nacets internationally on eBay.

 

[Pinto90]

Ok in the next few days when I'm on holiday and have a little more time I will look for the best offers for Nacet blades on Ebay sellers.
I don't want the guy at the shop to have lied to me or he's a new guy who doesn't know well or doesn't know when the GSB blades will arrive so he said no so as not to show that he doesn't know.
The last times I had been there they had always promised me that they would send me at least one or two blocks of blades of one hundred pieces.
I will return to them when I return from holidays after mid-August or early September.
