What is your worst blade?

Feather
Feathers were the worst blade as far as how bad they were, for me, compared to their reputation but the worst blade I've experienced was Balaka. I'm foggy on the spelling but the box is green with some very foriegn writing and a rendition of a stork. Terrible.

Feathers always seemed ready to nip me at a moments notice.
Once I bought Müller drogery store branded blades. I prefer not to speak about it. Makes Derby blades feel sharp
That's the perp officer!
Merkur are the worst ones I’ve tried. Couldn’t get through the first pass with it. VdH are probably a close second
Derby. I could have got a better shave with a butter knife from the kitchen.

Polsilver SI. I won't mourn their discontinuation at all. I tried four blades from two different batches, and they were awful. I did manage to get ONE good shave from them, by putting it in a razor I also hated, a Fatip Grande. The two combined were tolerable, but that blade in any other razor, or any other blade in that razor, were horrible.
Ladas were the worst of the blades I have tried so far.
Yes, it is interesting. I tried them after reading rave reviews on B&B, and I found them to be the second worse blade I've ever used. Harsh, abrasive and very very uncomfortable . Only used two then pifed the rest.
Agreed, but Derby premium are pretty good. Same with the Shark blades but in reverse. The Shark SS are way better than the more expensive ones, super chrome and the platinums
This cracks me up to no end. Thanks for making my day Al.
Bic Chrome Platinum. I bought two of these blades from tryablade.com. They came...nice yellow wrapper...I loaded one in my Timeless and proceeded to try and pull the whiskers from my face. The blade could barely cut my fair-haired, thin whiskers. My eyes were watering from getting tugged on. It was the only time I had to stop shaving, pick up another razor with a different blade in it and finish the shave. I still have the other one...still wrapped up...never getting used. Bad memories keep me from trying the second blade out.
Havent tried those provided with my Qshave so I'd say derby extra for now. I wonder if anyone tried the Qshave blades.
Toss up between Van Der Hagen and Clifton, both equally suck.
I haven't had the pleasure of trying those. How bad are they
Merkur
