Almost out of my Ruskie Astras...

Wanting to try a new blade.

Feather, Kai?

What are you using, or do you neckbeards never shave?

still working through the sampler pack, the Korean Dorcos have been decent.

I bought a 100pk of Feathers last year.  Decent blades, but I went back to Astras.  I get two or three more shaves out of them.  Since I started using a safety razor about 10yrs ago, those are the only two blades I've used.

I got 100 Astras for 30 bucks, shipped from Amazon.

At that price, I was using a fresh blade every day.

You paid too much.

They normally run about $12 to $13 shipped, for 100 blades.

I've really only tried Feathers and Personna Blues so far, but prefer the Blues.

Shark Platinums are good.  And cheap.
Check Ebay.

This. $30 is more or less what I paid for the 100 pack of Pol Silvers.

I bought a 100 pack of Derby Extras a while ago and have used about 12-15 of them, and for the money, I like them.

I get a better shave with these cheap blades than I ever did buying expensive multi-blade disposables.

The gillete ones are decent

I wasn't a fan of the Astras as they glue the blade to the wrapper and in most cases the glue was all the way to the edge of the blade

Derbys seemed to have worked well

I also liked the various Lords I've tried

Sharks were the dullest/worst I've used

I forgot what else I've tried, I bought a 500 blade sample pack a few years ago and use a new blade every shave
