Fans of Treet Blue Specials.

Any fans here of these blades? My current stock is enough to last for a few years, but where do you purchase yours from?

I have some and rotate them in from time to time. I just bought some from Shoebox Shaving. They stock many of the Treet blades.

I'm glad to see someone having them in stock.

Jani I like them well enough but much prefer the coated Classic version.

Squire, quite understandable.

Jim, I know about the DuraSharps but as you can see, he doesn't sell the Blue Specials any more.

That's why we hoard, Jim!

I received a sample pack of these blades along with a bulk order of Durasharp Classics over a year ago from Gianni.

The Blue Specials shave very similar to the Durasharp Classics, but one of my priorities last year was to use up the Blue Specials before their shelf life became a question, due the unprotected plain carbon steel edge. The Classics are a bit smoother and last longer for me.

Since acquiring an O-2 Super Adjustable in near-new condition last fall, a Durasharp Classic in this razor has proved to be an near-unbeatable, go-to combination for me.

Glad I picked up a hundred while I had the chance.

Good blades, IMO.

Jim, I don't need to find any more. I have enough to more or less last me my entire life(together with the DuraSharp's, of which I can find new ones easily). I was wondering where everyone else get theirs from.

Murray, I completely agree. Nowadays you never know what of ones favourite thing will either be reformulated or discontinued.

Seamaster, they are great blades and highly inexpensive.

Edit: I heard(through the grapevine) some time ago that the Treet plant was going to seaze production of them.

I'll probably get some before they are gone, no particular reason and I'm not overly concerned about shelf life.
