Astra SP and SS were both in my sampler. I like the SS better than the SP, but both wound up near the bottom of my ranking. I found there are plenty that are similarly priced but far better for me.

Just out of curiosity what are your top blades?
Thanks1) Voskhod
2) Treet Classic
The Treet Falcon is also very nice, but more expensive than the Classic. I haven't been able to figure out what makes them worth the extra, as performance is very close.
Honorable mentions go to the Personna Platinum Chrome and Treet Platinum. Also comfortable shaves but not quite as efficient.
I found Astra SP to be inefficient and always left me feeling irritated. SS is a little more efficient but is only good for a couple shaves. It irritates me after that.
Based upon your recommendation, I grabbed a Voskhod that I had received in a sampler pack and tried it today. Wonderful shave! Thanks for the suggestion. If you and I seem to like similar blades, I'll have to give the Treet Classic, Treet Platinum, and Personna Platinum Chrome a try as well.1) Voskhod

I really anticipated liking Astra SPs because so many other people do.
