100 blades is like $15-20 bucks and you might use like 1-2 blades a month before wanting a new blade and typically closer to 1 a month.
That's $15-20 cents a blade x 1-2 per month and assuming 2 blades a month and occasionally less, 100 is around a 4.5 year supply of blades.

The fun and accomplishment starts to fade, certainly. But the fact remains just like the sous vide in that the end result is still significantly superior for barely any extra work. You'd stick with it for sure.
I don't think I've ever met someone who went from disposable to double edge safety back to disposable. Straight razor to disposable/electric, or double edge safety back to electric, sure. But never have I heard safety back to disposable. The cost savings alone keeps you there (especially if you have the ability to adjust the razor head).
