Blades similar to Personna Red and Gillette 7 O'clock Black?

[mmcaleer]

I am looking for some input.

So far my favorite blades are the Personna Red and the Gillette 7 O'clock Black. If anyone can recommend a blade they think I should try that is similar to the Personna Red or the Gillette 7 O'clock black please let me know.

I have tried the following:

Derby - Liked but it was my first blade while working on technique. I will put this back in the rotation to try.
Astra - Didn't really care for it. Too much tugging with the blade for me
Personna Red - Love it so far. I am getting the best shave ever! One of my top two blades
Feather - Feather was sharp, I can tell from the nicks I received.
Gillette 7 O'clock Black - love the blade, one of my top two

I just bought some Gillette 7 O'clock black blades on a recommendation I read that said they were similar to the Personna Red. I think I love them as much as the Personna Red. Now I need to do a comparison between the Personna Red and the 7 O'clock black.

These are my two top blades so far. I am starting to think about stopping the hunt. There are too many blades to choose from. The main issue between these two blades is price. I can get 100 Personna Red UK packaging for $12 or 100 7 O'clock blacks for $50. If they are about the same for me then I am going with the Personna Red UK packaging for much cheaper.

This is a lot of fun trying out different blades that work best on my face. I am so glad I switched to DE shaving. My face feels so much better and smoother. It has made shaving a wonderful experience.

Med Preps and, perhaps, Lab prep Personna's. The Labs are very inexpensive. Try the 7 o'clock yellows also. For three shaves, they are identical to the blacks for me, but fade a little more quickly than the blacks. I'm also very impressed with the Polsilver Super Iridiums, and the Polsilver stainless. In fact, the Polsilver stainless are very like the Personna Reds for me.
