What is Your Current Favorite DE Blade?

Feathers outperform everything else for me, except in the price category. The best for the price, I like the Personna Red Israeli. Feathers work best in my EJ but the Personnas are great in my others.

 

Astra SS or SP
Feathers

 

For my Mühle R41 Grande - Gillette 7 O'Clock Blue Super Platinum (nice blend of smoothness, not too sharp not too mute and very good quality control)

For my Feather AS-1 DE - Feather HI Stainless Platinum (this mild Razor needs a sharp blade - Feather for a Feather)

For my Mühle Sophist R89 - Astra Superior Platinum (very nice blend of comfort, sharpness and smoothness - sharper than the 7 O'Clock Blue though)

 

havent got to try many but so far Bic is my favorite blade ive yet to use but have several more to try. Using a merkur futur

 

I was really surprised that with two bulk buys of Voskhod blades I didn't see any mention of them until the very last post of page three and even after that, just a few times. Now allow me to stick my foot in my mouth. My favorite (at the moment ) is the Gillette 7 o'clock Black, aka, the Black Ninja.

 

Right now, my favorite blade is the Gillette 7 o'clock yellow. It gives me a smooth shave at a fraction of the price of feathers.
I have some Astra SP to try next week and compare.

 

For the moment it is Gillette Silver Blue. Very smooth and comfortable shaves.

 

Based solely on shave quality, my favorite blades in the Edwin Jagger DE89 are Silver Star Super Stainless. Taking immediate availability into account, my favorites are the CVS store brand blades.

In the Merkur 34C, my favorites are the Derby blades, and in the Gillette Slim the Gillette 7 O'clock Super Platinums.

Why would people be unhappy because Sputniks are your favorite DE blades?

 

I doubt you'll get an answer. Reformation Student was last seen two and a half years ago!

Yeah, this thread is from 2010.

 

I prefer Feather at any time, but the price is really a killer for me, and I have to order them on the web. However I've been using SuperMax Super Platinum for quite a while and they perform quite well and they are dirt-cheap. Gillette Platinum are not as aggressive as SuperMax but they (usually) last 2 shaves more. I get around 3-4 shaves with the SuperMax, about 5 with Gillette and 6-7 with Feather. I only use one razor - a Rotbart Mond-Extra (but that may will changes soon, since I'm getting a shavette).

 

Polsilver SI

 

Gillette Silver Blue!

 

I have only tried a few, but so far I like Derby's. I plan on trying many more, though!

 

My top three favorites as of now at least:
1) Viking's Sword
2) Astra SP
3) PolSilver Super Iridium

 

I love Feathers. While more expensive than others, when ordered in bulk, they are about 40 cents per blade. I can live with that.

 

I am trying to find my favourite blade, but at the moment the Gillette Silver Blue is in the lead, followed by Gillette 7 o'clock Indian black and perhaps the NOS Polsilver on third

 

Bic Chrome Platinum and Bolzano. The latter is marginally better for the first two shaves, but the former is both less expensive and can last more than twice as many shaves for me (2-4 shaves with a Bolzano vs. 4-8 with a Bic).

It's interesting to me how some folks find it best to pair a specific blade to a particular razor. I only have the one DE razor so far, so I'm curious as to whether I'll wind up finding similar pairings work best.

 

1) Viking's Sword
2) Feather
3) PolSilver Super Iridium

 

IP's crystal work best in my EJ 89. Have tried Derby and personna blue. I love these blades!

 

1. Astra SP
2./3. & O'clock Black / Voskhod

Too hard to choose. Like the Red Personnas too.
