    I quite like Shark SuperChromes. I haven't posted in here yet though because I have some new Rapira & Treet blades to try out first.

    ditto on liking the Shark Super Chrome (my son's #1 favorite, BTW), but my 2 are :
    Personna Blue
    Astra SP

    These choices subject to caprice!

    Once yes, but somehow I can't use them now. I'm assuming the Stainless version is on speech?

    I have about 75 blades left of the 100 I got and have decided not to use them anymore and sell/trade them some time, since I don't get good shaves compared to my other favorite blades.

    Tough....current production:

    Personna Med Prep & Gillette Silver Blue

    Several very close behind!

    This is hard for me to judge now but I'm going to have to go with my new ones due to sheer price/performance.

    Double Edge:
    Treet Black (Carbon Steel) - Super smooth and ridiculously cheap (400 blades for less than $25)
    Rapira Swedish Supersteel - Smoother than Personna Lab and cheaper by $2/100 count.

    Single Edge:
    TBD ;)

    I have recently changed my answer to 1) Rapira Plat Lux - so smooth! 2) Astra SP

    Wow, it's hard to narrow it down. I've used so many great blades. Ultimately, I would say Rapira Platinum Lux and Israeli Crystal blades.
    I've had consistently smooth shaves with both blades in several different razors.

    Believe me, I thought I'd try them because I hadn't ever used a carbon steel blade yet - and was utterly SHOCKED. I've heard horror stories about the Treet stainless but these they got down to a science.

    Where do you get them at that price? I can't buy them right away but I'm definitely interested.

    Italian Barber, my bad they're now 13/200 which is still awesome IMO

    OK, I had to make some choices, which means there is some error here... but here is a down-n-dirty histogram of votes to date:
