The best price I have found for Feather blades is $36.95 per 100 blades from The Razor Company. Blade prices tend to fluctuate, so look around.
However, before you stock up on Feather blades, I would suggest that you investigate a couple of alternatives that are similar in sharpness and smoothness and can be found for lower prices. These blades include:
BIC Chrome Platinum (Greece) ($18 per 100 blades)
Perma-Sharp Super in the gold packaging made by Gillette in Russia ($10 per 100 blades)
7 O'Clock Super Platinum in the black packaging made by Gillette in India (32 per 100 blades)
Nacet Stainless made by Gillette in Russia ($19 per 100 blades)
Those with tough beards tend to find that Feather blades are super sharp right out of the wrapper, but they deteriorate rapidly. I cannot even get 3 good shaves before they feel harsh on my face. Many others have reported similar experiences. If your beard is not tough, then you do not NEED the sharpness of Feather blades. If your beard is tough, then you might not find the Feather blades to be very durable. I have not found Feather blades to be a good value as they are expensive and have limited life compared to alternatives.

I have not yet used Bolzano. I will be evaluating it in a couple of weeks. Since it is made by Lord in Eqypt, I would be surprised if it is a sharp as Feather, but it might be a nice blade.
Tatra blades are very nice blades, but they are not quite in the same sharpness range as Feather blades and the others I noted.
I prefer BIC CP to all other blades for its sharpness and smoothness.
For a summary of my evaluations, see:
