I have a metric ton of blades.....

Stockpile blades... Try GEM Stainless and GEM carbon... Whichever you like best... stockpile!!!
I'm going to the Doctor and having a complete physical, then buying 25% more blades than my life expectancy will call for. I figure 2 things.

1: with my luck I'll probably live longer than I thought, and have to endure shaving in a fashion I don't dig! I'd rather grow a beard.

2: I'd rather pass away leaving extra blades as an enheritance to some lucky shaver than run out of blades and have them no longer made...

The only problem with stockpiling CS blades is that they'll micro rust from atmospheric moisture making them useless. They would stockpile OK if someone plans on sharpening them though. I found it much easier to just stockpile SS blades. If I'm going to sharpen a blade it'll be on the Rolls.

You make very good points!!
