Blades similar to derby

[Slats6NYR]

i am currently using the derby standard and premium blades... like to know if there is anything which are better but not harsh as i have sensitive skin ...but shave better and smoother?

Personally, I recommend Zorrik Super Platinum, Rapira Platinum Lux, Personna Reds, GSB, Gillette 7 o'clock Yellow, and Astra SP.
All great blades for me, and can be found at reasonable prices.

"Blades that are like Derby's" I would say "Derby's" The company is trying their best to create confusion in their product line. If you really want a Derby shave, just buy the latest Derby, Premium, USTA... with the highest price. With luck you might get a blade from the new production process.
Good luck.

Derby's were my first 100 blade purchase in 2009 and I wound up giving most away after a month or two. For a better mild, smooth blade, I'd recommend Astra SP or Personna Reds. Almost 10 years later, and after trying many others, Astra & Reds work best in all my DE's. I do like Merkur blades, but Astra SP's and Reds at $.10 a blade are as good as Merkur's costing $.50 a blade. If you want a sharp, more expensive blade, then try Feather or 7'oclock Yellows.

How can you tell the difference between the old and the new derbys?

This may help;

For me Astras and Sharks seem similar to Derbys but a bit better.

Dorco comes from South Korea. Weishi comes from China. Maybe try those first.

ASCO & Sharks are nice blades.

Yes Asco are nice blades. Haven't tried Sharks yet myself, though they are on my list to do.

I'm a big fan of the Asco (Orange Pack), and started the New Year with one to celebrate them. One of the few blades I can get 7 shaves out of when shaving every other day (so 15 days before another blade needed). They're great!

i am using the derby old stock and the dery premium black packaging blades..

i find that they work better without water touching yr skin, only the shaving soap/foam or blade...dipping water in yr skin seems to give more razor burn aftershave

can it be my skin is too sensitive?

You might have to explain that one a little more. Do you mean it works better if you put soap or foam on dry skin and then shave? Which blade, original Derby or Derby Premium?

Mix godrej with a bit of water to get a medium levle dilution and lather using brush
only tested with premium...my likely explanation is that water softens the skin and makes it more vulnerable to cuts.

I still have some older Derby blades (and have not tried their newer offerings). The closest that I have tried recently are two Chinese offerings, Tian Li (very similar to the Derby) and Shaver Boy (a bit sharper).
