I don't see a lot of difference in blades, but the ones I tend to use regularly when shaving with a DE are: Gillette Silver Blue Rapira Swedish Supersteel Permasharp Super
I don't use to many different DE blades anymore. This means I have hundresd of blades that might not get used. Mostly because I use Feather blades almost exclusively. I could go with some others, but I like the comfortable shave they give me. 1-5 Feather blades. Sorry tp
I mostly use SE b;ades for the last 18 months, but here are a few that I enjoyed using. Have some great shaves!
Well my list won't be one to go by. Several years ago I went to using vintage blades exclusively. But for what its worth I only have two spots, 1. A tie between Personna 74s and Wilkinson Light Brigades 2. All the rest I use. Gillettes Platinum Plus, Spoilers and Stainless. Personna Super Stainless usa and GB models, Schick Plus Platinum, Super Stainless and Stainless. Those are the main ones.
my top 5, at least as of now : Viking Sword Polsilver Astra Platinum Gillette Silver Blue & 7 O'clock Feather
I'm with @Terry. 1. Feather 2. Feather 3. Feather 4. Feather 5. Feather Honorable mentions to Feather, Personna 74, Gillette Spoiler, and Feather. The Personna only gets a mention because they would last so long. The Spoiler because it was the most comfortable blade around for a long time.
Well Slash, another Feather guy. I know some say they are rough, and that might so. But I find that the cure is to change the angle of the razor. I also use them in so called aggressive razors. Yaqi beast and helmet, OC Fatps, FB on 9 and the like. They work great! Welcome to the club. If there is one. tp
Well, I have used them with great success in my gold adjustable Aristocrat and my Executive, but mostly I use them in half DE blade shavettes where they really shine, because you can drop down to a very tight shave angle. Bliss.
I need to say I'm able to use only vintage blades because I'm retired and made it my full time job to collect them at reasonable prices. Still expensive but less so than usual asking price and when cost per shave is calculated, they last so much longer besides being sharper and, more importantly, much smoother they're a better value. But it takes time and patience.
