    My go to blade these days is the GSB. As I read through this entire post, I was surprised in the older posts from 2009 and such, the Derby blades were a popular choice. Nowadays the Derbys are public enemy #1 on the shaving forums. What happened to them?

    All give great shaves with my Merkur 34c. Trying the same blades in my recently acquired Fatboy G1 - so far they all work great with the Fatboy as well.

    Astra SP for me. I get BBS above the jaw line. If I try for bbs on the neck I usually get irritation

    Gillette Platinum Plus...I think anyone who likes Astra SP's would love those.

    Astra SP for sure! Can't there be a poll for this thread. Much easier to see the popular votes

    Not a bad idea..... It certainly would help in getting the general consensus on blade popularity and usage.

    Personna Platinum Chrome blades work in most razors for me.

    Fantastic shave tonight with my Astra SP. I believe the Astra SP gets better with age. I'm on my 5th shave with this blade and it is just as sharp and actually a little smoother than the first day I put it in. Love these blades. :)

    I mostly just use family dollar 10 for $1 blades in all my DE's. I think they are ASR. Great shaves cheap and local.
