If you fancy trying any, send me a PM and I will happily send a handful of whateverWowsers, they should keep you going for a while. I've prob got 25 different blades stored in a Tupperware sealed box.....but I suspect you'd need the XL one, think I'm set on buying a bulk of Nacet blades.

I have two 1300 peli case's which house all of my blades both DE and injector. I estimate that I have 3000 blades, but they don't take up much space and I don't have to feed them!I know how to spend a Easter Sunday evening. I gave my Gillette blank handled superspeed a good polish and a respray this afternoon and putting it away I caused a collapse of my stockpile of blades, finding it all a bit untidy I decided to empty all the blades and store them in an empty Proraso gift tin.
Once I started I had to finish as I was in one hell of a mess! In a small container I think I had about 300 of various makes mostly Wilkinson Sword and Gillette Wilkinson Sword. Other highlights include:
Bic: 165
Ladas: 209
Rapira Super Stainless: 292
Gillette Nacet: 204
Polsilver: 110
Astra SP: 80
Voskhod: 75
Gillette Silver Blues: 85
Supermax Super Platinum: 80
One or two may have slipped by during counting...
I didn't realise I had so many blades! The tin is crammed full but I do have a few brands I would like to try that I haven't yet, Perma Sharp and Kai to name but two.
Do you guys unknowingly have many blades, if so how do you keep them organised?
Peli case is a good idea, I sort of have regrets about emptying every packet. Once I started there was no going back. I estimated about 1600 blades, if I use each my standard 3 times I have 13 years worth blades.I have two 1300 peli case's which house all of my blades both DE and injector.

There is nothing wrong with stockpiling, you protect against price rises in the future and quite often get great deals when buying in bulk.

..I call it' DE blade stockpiling'..or more realistically,as you rightly put it,"more blades than sense"..my last blade count i had over 500+ various types of blades mainly Russian made ones..i only shave: Sat,Sun,tues,thurs, ( using two blades a week).. To try and get through them ,which will take years..my rule now is, use a blade twice, then it's binned,even if a blade can still be used....like yourself..it'll be years before i need to buy anymore..i'll probably leave a huge batch of DE blades in my "last will and testament"!!.. i only started DE razor shaving in 2016, and went through a period of mad impulsive buying, but now.."i've got what i need,not what i want"..i still "window shop" but i don't buy.i think to myself, do i really need it?..the answer is "NO"..this goes for other shaving kit also..the only thing i've bought shaving related recently, is a Parker 94R & a bottle of Old spice Aftershave..both should be arriving in the next few days..I bought the 94R as replacement for my 22R,that got damaged beyond repair, and had to be taken to the DE razor graveyard.Sothat is it for quite a while with buying shaving related products.I know how to spend a Easter Sunday evening.

There 100 Rubies hiding under the Nacets. About 1500 plus the odds and sods.
It'll be the currency like bottle caps are in the video game series FalloutSo come a nuclear apocalypse, cockroaches and the blade collections of @Taipan and @Palmolive fox will be the only things that survive.
