I have been wet shaving for 25 years and have used a DE for about eighth months. I made a different test a few monts ago. I tested seven brands Merkur, Derby Extra, "Swedes", Fether, "Crystals", Dorco and "Reds".
I used an Gillette "Knack" and C&E Nomad in all tests and used each of the blades for six days. I always had saved the beard for 48 ours before starting whith a new blade.
I "blind tested" the blades and made notes to every blade. After the test i ranked the blades from my notes and got these results. Merkur 4/10 (I never liked them), Dorco 4,5/10, Derby Extra 5/10, Crystal 6/10, Reds 6,5/10, Feather 9/10 and Gillette 9,5/10.
The reason for doing the test was that i noticed that most of the blades in the tests here att B&B got over five points when tested and it was hard for me to se any difference betwen the blades tested...
If there is an interest i can try to translate my notes to english?
