My supply of blades will outlive me.My blades will definitely outlive me.

Clocks are also useful for this purposeThis topic, which crops up from time to time, and often when "Razorgeddon" appears possible, always reminds me of the poem by T. S. Eliot, where J. Alfred Prufrock has "measured out my life with coffee spoons". Substitute "razor blades" for "coffee spoons", and it becomes an apposite and profound statement for those who prefer the former as a gauge of time passing.
Calendars can also play a part!Clocks are also useful for this purpose
Me too, but I'm hanging on to boxes of things like "The Gentleman" that came gratis, just in case there is a real shortage. For the first time in decades, I'm extending the supply lifetime of my blade stocks by the simple expedient of growing a "full set", ready to appear as Father Christmas or else downgraded to one of his elves.Think iv got enough blades for two life times but iv also got a lifetime of blades i’ll never use in terms of them being gash
Good On you,I must be in the minority, I've probably got fewer than 100 blades, some of which are AC-SE. I bought 20 Kai Captain Titan Mild and 20 Feather and at approx 10 shaves per blade, that is a years worth. I've got twice as many DE blades that may be good for 5 shaves so that's another year. That's about as far into the future I want to count on! However, my straight razors will definitely outlive me, not least the one from 1850 which is already 3+ times older than my comparatively ephemeral 54 years.
I spent £200 ish on Brazillian Wilkos
I gave most away but iv still got a good few years worth
Mike Smart = Santa Claus of blades.
The only likeliness is we both have full sacksMike Smart = Santa Claus of blades.
I tried feather, gillete silver blues, astras sp, derby, wizamet, super iridium, personna, derby and a bunch of other blades - only BIC's / Astra offered me a irritation free shave at an affordable price point. Yes, there maybe more to life than BIC's but this is what suits meThere’s a lot more to life than Bic ‘s but hey if you like them you like them,
just shows we’re all different.
Just pulled the plug on 500 more BICsI have 200 BICS and about 70 odd Astra SP. I was completely sold on Astras till I found BIC CP . I am 37, I definitely need another couple of thousand BICs
