You can purchase:
Wizamet super irridium blades they're polsilver upgrade but smoother. Best deals on ebay. Many shaves per blade.
Permasharp blades at wish4blades or amazon they're kind of like astra green in sharpness.

There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions.
Nothing pains some people more than having to think.'' Researching...

Did you get all of those blades on eBay?

I’ve been building up too. I’ve got about 300 off most blades.

I don't want to get political, but I tried every non-Russian alternative for a reason (after ten years of Astra green only). This way I found out that one of the blades I missed works best for me. What I'm trying to say: don't build up a too big stash, your preferences can change. 😉

I'm 53 years old and have been doing this for a while. Trust me, they are not going to change lol. My den actually shrinking, not growing. I'm purging everything that I don't want or use. Everything I own with the exception of blades fits into a 2 foot by 3 foot by 6 inch wall cabinet. Thank God

I believe Astra production may already have been moved to India.
I saw a pic a few days ago of a pack of Indian made Astras.

If anybody knows where to get gillette black platinums for less than 30 cents a blade hook me up.

I hope tha quality will remain the same if they move in China and India - btw black 7'O Clock and one of the greens is made in India.
I like the blacks the green permasharps not so much. The green SS are my favorites along with the platinums.
They’re moving? Or could be?
Astra already moved I believe. The ingo is from here: https://sharpologist.com/what-is-the-best-double-edge-razor-blade/
That article seems short on details though.
