    Personna Prep Blades (medical grade for hospital use) are my favorites, so this is my "write in vote" for them. :D

    My vote went to the feather blade but a very good blade that's a close second is the Personna prep blade.
     
  3. You say that? But they are not on the market, right? How can 'do to get some' of these?

    Sputnik are equal to the Voskhod in that for me, they shave smooth. However, I can get six comfortable shaves per blade from a Voskhod, where I only get three from a Sputnik. There are many flavors of Rapira, including the Voskhod. The Rapira blades that come in the blue, red and white striped wrapper are nice blades, but I will choose the Voskhod over them every time.

    I voted for the Dorco 301, they give a nice comfortable shave and they are not too aggressive. These were my first experience when learning to wet shave.

    I too like the Voskhod, but don't use them that often (I don't want Jeff to run low!) and get quite a number of good shaves out of that blade.

    The Super-Max and Super-Max Super Platinum give a sharp shave and leave me with no irritation, which is important when my legs are covered in nylons all day. :D

    The web site also shows voshkod as 'sold out'... at $20 USD plus shipping for 100, I'll stick with $15 shipped for 100 Israeli Personna or 100 BIC. I get a good 6 to 7 BBS shaves from a single blade with the use of palm-stropping.

    thevez2 uses Gillette's new Tarantula Razor - 8 blades!!

    I use Personna Platinum Chrome, but the American version. I have tons of samples of other blades, but I can't seem to get myself to try them out.

    Shhh! It is called artificial scarcity... yanno... like shutting down an oil refinery or five for "maintenance" right when the driving vacation season gets cranked up...

    I wanna say that Feather is my favorite, but as much as I like them, I keep coming back to Derby. Derby works well in the vast majority of my razors.
    I like Shark and the German Wilkinson Swords a lot, too, but some of my razors don't like them.

    Feathers for me.

    Derby extras are the blades for me. I've tried 12 plus blades and they're my #1

    Personna Medical Prep Blades.. over the past months I've picked up 4 of the 250 packs to go with the 100 pack I was working out of. I figure thats about 20 years worth and at 60 I figure I'm flush on blades.
