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.
