Another YMMV Blade

[ShaverAZ]

Yesterday I shaved with a 1x Lord Platinum blade in a Gillette Slim Adjustable. It's rare to not get an exceptional shave with the Slim Adjustable, since it performs flawlessly with a multitude of blades. Nevertheless, the Lord blade once again only gave a mediocre shave. GSB's, BiC Platinum, Voskhod, Super Max Blue Diamond, Lab Blues and others all provide BBS shaves for me with the Slim Adjustable.
Today I put the now 2x Lord blade into a 1952 Superspeed and got a BBS shave for the best & smoothest shave of the week.
I've been searching for a universal blade that does an easy BBS shave from all my vintage razors. So far, there haven't been any, although the GSB seems to excel in a bigger variety of my razors.
I'll be pursuing Rapira LUX blades next. Historiclly they will do a BBS shave, but so far, only in my Gillette Super Adjustables.

I don't know if you've tried the Lord Super Chrome or Silver Star. Those seemed the best of the Lord blades I've tried, anyway.

The Silver Star is a winner for me. Lord Platinum feel a bit, well...prickly to me. Perhaps I just got a bad batch.

The Silver Stars are the pick of the Lord litter for me. Performs superbly in all of my razors. The Lord Platinums are just 'meh' to me.

OP if you are looking for a universal blade I'd be looking at the Super Iridiums.

I have some Silver Stars, but have yet to find the best razor for them.

+1! For me, the Silver Stars are the pick of Lord’s litter!

YMMV for sure!

If GSB‘s work well try a Perma-Sharp in the bronze/red tuck, a bit sharper and still very smooth.

I have some Lord platinums, but I think I only ever tried one.

However, the ASCO blades from Lord are winners for me. Both the stainless and platinum
