1. 7am, then Merkurs.
  2. 7am. For me, it was like trying to shave with a butter knife.
  3. Derby's for sure.
  4. Shark Stainless. Shredded my face 100% of the time. I can't chalk it up to a bad blade when it's 2 different packs ordered at different times. A close 2nd could be the new Wilkinson Sword blades. They're not up to the lineage for sure.
  5. Dorco 300
  6. SuperMax Stainless
  7. Many are listing some blades I enjoy... To me Astra can only be used in a couple of razors with out causing a blood bath. 7am and Dorco's are also a no go.
  8. BIC blades have always struck me as very harsh, even with a light touch and good technique there was a lot of tugging and scraping with brand new blades. I've had others that I thought weren't great, but those I really disliked.
  9. We could practically set up an exchange based off of this thread. Person X gives up Blade 1 that he hates to Person Y, who loves it, in exchange for Blade 2, that Person Y can't stand but Person X likes.

  10. This. I recently gave away 6 Super Max blades. Extremely tuggy.
  11. I'm not a fan of Blade 1. Too tuggy for my tastes. Blade 2 is terribly tuggy, too.

  12. Worst is Lord Stainless. Felt serrated and wouldn't cut at all. The Lord Platinums aren't bad but I wont be buying any more.
  13. This is an interesting thread to resurrect. My worst blade was Treet Platinum, no matter what I did I just could not make those things work well for me.
  14. Of the blades I've tried (around 20 of the most "regular" ones, so not nearly every blade out there), I have to list Derby on the top. Next up is, weirdly enough, Rapira Platinum Lux.

    Those two tug already WTG, and is a pain in general.

    Every other blade I can use in some way, but not those two.
  15. For me was some Tiger blades
    My wife's kitchen knives could shave better.
  16. Derby without a doubt!
  17. Personna- so irritating that I couldn't even complete 1 shave with it. (My husband had the same reaction.)
  18. Used to be Dorco 300's were the worst thing ever to come close to my face. However, that has changed. I recently tried a Zorrick blade. I would rather grow a beard than use one of those again. Just a horrible little piece of metal.

  19. Zorrik blades are awful. Right down there with Merkur, for me, although I have found a razor that Merkur work with.

    Dorco 300, Sharp, and 7am are also on my avoid list. I also don't like Voshkod- but they aren't as bad as the rest.
  20. Derby's SuperMax Stainless
