Your blade supply - how long will you last?

I am on the much lower end of the scale.

I don't collect blades so I'm with you there

I think I bought 2 packs of Schicks from Mark which would equate to 1 years worth of shaving if 10 shaves is an average.
I have 95 odd Voskhods which equates to another (conservative) years worth.

Other than that I have about 50 blades that I will probably use and 2 packs of mystery blades from you lot

I don't think that it is even worth me looking ...

The following will probably never be used (unless someone says there is a blade there that I should really try) and will probably go for a blade swap or pif at some stage soon:
8 Derbys
13 Lord Platinum,
2 Shark Super
5 pack Shark Super Chrome
pack of ?? Wilkinson Swords
and a pack of Gillette super thin platinum.

I'm really not very good at this collecting lark am I?

The Derby, Lord, Shark and Super Thins will not set the world on fire but are OK blades IMHO
 
I think I have about 2,500 blades on hand. I use an average of 100 blades per year.

EDit: I have 3290 blades on hand and have just ordered 300 Gillette 7 O'clock (Indian Permasharps). I use about 105 blades per year:)
 
Here we go.

Shave every other day so that's roughly 200 shaves/year.

100 odd Spoilers at 8/blade so there's 4 yrs worth
80 odd Shicks at 12/blade so there's another 4 yrs worth
100 SE blades at 5/blade.....2.5 yrs worth
250 odds and ends at an average of 5/blade (some are better than others) ...say 5 yrs worth

I've only got at most 15 yrs worth of shaves. Jesus I need more blades!

Another 200 Shicks and I'll be a bit less anxious.
