Now you need to order them in terms of longevity -how many shaves (on average) per blade type! :p
 
I had 100 of the French Gillettes and have only used a few so I know there are others somewhere.

I've tried most of them and all so far have lasted 8 shaves or more.
With a touch over 1000 blades, shaving every other day, and minimum 8 saves per blade, that's nearly 45 years worth!


I am henceforth retiring from the vintage blade game.
 
sorry I missed the asking price on these. Are you selling only as a job lot or in bundles?

(a half wink, as I'd still be keen on some Spoilers please!)
 
You've found your P74s?

I prefer Light Brigades.
As @Mark1966 recently demonstrated, they're able to get around a month before requiring changing, so longevity is about the same, yet are smoother.

Hmmm, do you need somebody to leave these to in your will?
 
I reckon this is less than you had before your latest bundle arrived

Hmmm, maybe in volume - but you have quality!



There are few problems in the world that cannot be resolved by a spreadsheet!

I thought you and PJ cornered the world market of Schick plus platinums a while ago, and I know you've got Wilkie's and some spoilers.
And it's not like you would only buy 30 blades at a time knowing your history.

Yeah we got a few Schick PP when they finally arrived, not sure I have many (any) Spoilers and I've only tried 74s and Light Brigades.
