What's Your Latest 100 Blade Purchase, And Why?
- Thread starter DaltonGang
- Start date
I really like those packaging of Dorco ST300 blades that are in the Philippines. Unfortunately whyle Dorco ST300 blades I'm not so sure I like, better Dorco Titan them work best on me. So I breathed a sigh of relief, I'm safe I won't buy any more ST300 blades.
If you want let us know about the new Chinese Kingever blades.
l thought I was done buying blades, I probably have a lifetime supply at this point, including about 500 vintage Schick Plus Platinums and Gillette Spoilers, probably 750 of Gillette Blacks left, 400 or so Nacets, and a couple hundred Gillette Silver Blue and Gillette Platinum (Russian, AKA Swedes) and figured I was out of the blade buying game.
Then @Dtownvino told me about the Dorco Prime blades made in Viet Nam. I didn't need blades, but Mike is one of a small handful of people on the board who when he suggests something, it gets my attention. I grabbed 100 here, ten cents a blade! I thought those cheap days for premiere blades were gone.
I think it is my favorite, current-production blade, and it answers the question I had, "Why can't they make a blade as good as the old Schick Plus Platinums today? What technology did we lose?" Now there are definitely sharper blades than these Dorcos. There may be more comfortable blades than these Dorcos, but I can't say as I've tried them. I get a full week out of my vintage blades, and the Swedes, but everything else I use two blades per week.
The Dorcos are a full-week blade. Others have used them longer, but I don't see any reason to use any blade longer than a week, especially at ten cents a pop. I believe these Dorco Primes are as good a blade as I've tried, including the old Polsilvers. If I had only a shave den full of these Dorcos I would be happy. I kinda like having the Swedes and the vintage for variety, but these blades ... Well, I'm getting a daily, effortless BBS shave with no irritation with these and superior lather products. Try them.

People m
People must be finding out about them, they used to be $7.99/100.
Dorco Prime continued:
I think you can find them at that price for 1000 piece buys.
I have @mrdoug to thank for turning me on to them, I happen to really like the blade.

I recently got 100 Personna Comfort Coated from Beauty Ways to see how they are. They are laser engraved with no date code, and quite sharp. After a litmus test measurement this afternoon, I went and cleaned them out, as they were only $9/100.
All of my boxes say 2020 accutech and have the address and everything and talk about the computer controlled honing process and the quality guarantee....the address is kinda cool. 1 Razor Blade way lol thats a good deal though. My price was about average. Its good to find a good deal though. Im just glad I didnt pay 20 and up per box....i think thats crazy.
200 Perma-Sharps
One of the better blades I've used in my 6 months of DE shaving, still working through the rest of my sampler blades to find other keepers

Astra Superior Platinum .. why? Cause they were cheap !
Did the same, same reason. And also smooth and nice blade s!
Dorcos have been my favorite blade for years. I realize 8-12 good shaves from my made in Vietnam Prime (STP300 &301) and Stainless (ST300&301) blades. Primes have an extra coating of teflon versus the stainless. 300 vs. 301 just means cardboard vs. plastic tuck of the same blades.
We have a whole thread on Dorco blades, with posts from 2021 to just this month, linked below that you may want to take a look at. Glad you found these.
Dorco Double Edge Blade SKU Changes & Clarifications
Hi everyone. Just received a new shipment of 100 STP300 Dorco Prime double edge blades and discovered a stock keeping unit (SKU) change confirmed via a review of their latest product catalog. The ST301 stainless Dorco blade package is no longer listed in the catalog, only the ST300, Primes and...

Got some Personna blades in because the CC model is no more and I want to be one of those sages in 10 years talking about how I put aside the unobtainium goods when I could.
It's like that weird rush you get now when someone posts pictures of their PolSilver hoard. Holy King Tut Tomb!

Same for me as well, Personna Comfort Coated. Why? Well again they are not being made anymore. Do I really need more blades? No but again a good blade, good price and was easy to get so yea that is pretty much it. I got 2 packages.
Not quite a 100 pack, but I bought some items from a fellow enthusiast and he threw in some blades. This is the coolest sample pack ever aside from some blade packages @Balin sent me.

Just grabbed a 100 pack of Gillette Silver Blues for $17 on the ‘bay. Picture appears to be the old style with the round “i” dot…for $17 I figured it was worth a shot even if they turn out to be the newer ones. I liked the one I shaved with this morning quite a bit 
Kai. Good price and I think I'll like a wider blade in my Masamune.
3.90 with shipping
