Which blade did you toss today? After how many uses?

Gillette Platinum BPP x6.
As expected per other Gillette blades (Nacet and GSB). In my case they start to get rough after 4th shave.
 
Derby Premium, .5. 0/10

This was the worst blade I have used so far. I have tried 3 blades in 5 different razors. (I read that they shave better after the first shave). I cannot get this blade to feel good no matter the pre-shave/soap combo. I caught a glimmer of hope with my pre-war ball end tech but its not enough to justify using this blade.

I chose this blade because I can get the Derby Extra's to shave well in a couple of razors. Not enough for me to buy 100 pack, but enough that I keep a few tucks on hand.

My expectation was that the Premium would build off of the Extra but I was wrong. It felt like I was shaving with a cheese grater and my face looked like it had been shaved with a cheese grater.
