I found some as well as a decent price on some that are most likely from the German plant, so now have a mrdoug stash of 200-300 of my favorite blade! (just teasing you, Paul! You swung me over to the thought that if this is my best blade, just buy a bunch and quit putzin' around with others.)
Lol. Hey, life is too short to use subpar blades (or anything, really) when you could easily remedy it.
The problem comes if you're indecisive. Then you end up buying 500 of three or four different varieties. It'll take you two lifetimes to use them all, but you want to have enough of any given one... Just in case you decide it is "the one". Lol
Seems like you've narrowed it down to one type. I say, you made a good choice.

Yes, the Reds and the Nacets are my faves. And you introduced me to the Comfort Coated, and I have almost, almost, bought some! I think I will when I next order something from a place that has them. Actually, Amazon has them, so there's goes that restraint! I guess I should say, the next time I shop at a shaving store like Maggards, lol!
I have some of Dave's faves, the Wizamets, and I could experiment with them, but...what if they are The One?! He was right on the Prolines for me, so I am treading lightly there!

Problem is I've got to catch it between purchases to make it workout.
haha.
And Keith, I agree! I have more success at Not Buying right after a big purchase, ha ha! I have that BST sale going right now (shameless plug: many nice SE razors at great prices!) and to keep from spending the proceeds, I transfer it to my bank account. When there is a balance in the PayPal account, it is too easy for me to "justify" a purchse.
