Best DE Blade? Please Vote.

Personna Red and Astra SP from you list. I also like Polsilver SIs.

Interesting to see that the poll is confirming my personal experience.

 

[wazza]

Feather but I havnt tried Astra yet

 

[rockviper]

Rapira SS for me!

 

[onadraw]

These are the best blades that I have used. I was just curious how others would rank these.

This poll was right under similar "best all around blade" poll. Much better choices here. All those tope 4-5 are great blades and I have used them. I'm quite certain I could use nothing but Astras and Personna Blues for the rest of my life and never look elsewhere. Of course, I like to try new blades just for variety.

SuperMax Super Platinum for me. Darn good blades. I like Astras too but this blade is a winner. Easily.

Although I agree Astra is a good blade, I'm quite surprised it is showing this well in this poll.

Astras are good blades no question about it. The blade get´s much air play here which is good and is also is a factor why it´s showing well in this poll. Many people reads are few threads, settle and sticks with it- looking no further. Like the Feathers. I don´t think that´s negative in any way. Just an observation.

There was a time that Iridium would have been off the chart on a poll like this.

 

[msimon]

This makes me wish i got the 50 pack of Astra platinum for stupid low price.

Astra, great all round blade and inexpensive.

 

[Sir Lurkalot]

Where's the Bluebirds or Asco blades? I voted Gillette Black.

Bluebirds are amazing! I have no love for the Asco's however.

 

[onadraw]

I didn't include Bluebirds because I hated them when I tried them. That was one of the first blades I tried and that was before I had any idea how to use a DE razor correctly.
Maybe I should try them again.

I voted Feathers as they are the best performers in my opinion. However, the best value by far is the Astra SP. They are my everyday blade as they are consistently smooth, consistently sharp, and consistently inexpensive.

 

[gus1942]

Polsilver SI is my favorite.

 

[ackvil]

The best blades I have ever used are the Personna Lab or Med blades. Sharp but smooth.

Assuming "Iridium" is Polsilver SI blades, then I chose those and Gillete 7 O'clock Blacks from your list. You didn't have Gillette Silver Blues on there, but I love those as well. Blade choice is a very personal decision. Hard to go off what others say. They are, perhaps, the ultimate YMMV wet-shaving variable.
