Don't have a favorite yet. I haven't tried the Sharp's. The best shave I've had is with a vintage Gillette Super platinum which came with a red tip SS I just brought. Believe it is a full pack of 10. Paul
Wade & Butcher "For Barber's Use" straight razor (Meat Chopper!). I'm mainly a straight razor shaver -- I haven't even made it through the obligatory blade sampler!
I voted other. I like different blades with different razors, and here is the current list: Merkur HD: Derby, Feather Merkur Slant: Derby, SHARP v2 Feathers (portable and polymer): Feather Gillette Tech: Feather, SHARP v2
Swedish Gillette followed by daily user IP. This was when I use DE everyday. Now that I use Straights I just load IP's for minor touch ups. Raf
I rotate based on the shave... Method shave: Feather Creams: Derby or IP Soaps: Derby or Straight For touch-ups after the straight, usually a Derby in Merkur Long Handle Classic I've probably given this too much thought
Voted "Other" because I use different blades with different razors and different moods. For my Merkur HD and 1904, which I use most of the time, I like the Swedish Gillette, the Israeli Personna and the Derby. How do I choose? My mood when I change blades and sometimes just for the sake of variety. I've been getting good shaves from all three
So far, Derby. I used Feathers for a couple of months but never got over the harshness, then I tried everything in Lettter K's sample pack at least 3 or 4 times. Have not tried Sharps or 7 a.m., but the Derbys are working so well for me that I'm reluctant to experiment any more...
