1000 Gillette Silver Blue.
Ebay seller had loads and priced them well below market value. I bought 1000 and hoped for the best (could be too good to be true and all that...)
They were legit and by the time I'd received my package, the seller doubled the price.
Had I known then what I know now, I would have bought 10,000 of them.

I too am a sucker of blade packs. They look better look wise and keep the blades organised.

I order in a pack of 100's and would have bought 300 blades during a month.

I bought 400 Gillette Wilkinson Sword blades last year, even though I probably already had in excess of 100 of them. They really agree with me. So smooth, especially between shaves #2 and 5, and sometimes beyond. I probably have 1800-2000 blades, all bought in lots of at least 100. Several years ago the Russian exchange rate was very favourable to those of us holding the Yankee dollar, so I was buying Russian blades for about $4 per 100. I stocked up on several brands. I'm 60, and I usually get between 4 and 7 shaves from a blade, so I'm optimistic about how long I have to live.

Wish you good health and long life.

Were you buying directly from some Russian sellers? I don't see such prices anywhere on eBay etc.

No, you probably will not see such prices now. This was 3, perhaps 4 years ago. The exchange rate, always in flux, was extremely favourable to Americans at that time. I just looked briefly and it appears that blades that were selling for $4 the hundred on ebay in 2014 are now fetching $10 or $12 the hundred. I can't even remember the seller, other than that it was a Russian. The Gillette Wilkinson Swords are made in China for the Indian market, and I purchased them on ebay early in 2017 from an Indian-American importer in New York, and I believe I paid somewhere in the range of $24 for the 400 blades.

2,000 Wizamet Iridium Supers from a friend in Spain as he offers better prices the higher the blade count and since this is the only DE blade I use, it just made sense for me. :)

What sort of price do they come down to in bulk, if you don’t mind me asking

Either 50 or 100, I forget. Nacets and Personna Lab Blue have been my two notable 'bulk' purchases. Still got loads of both left and plenty of others. Don't feel I need to buy more blades for quite some time now.
