Blades to try in a R41

[cjb295]

I've just had my first 2 shaves with my new R41 with a gillette yellow blade, but that's a story for the DE razor part of the forum. My question to you is: are there any other blades I need to try outside of the list below (they need to be purchasable from the UK)?

Feathers
Personna med prep
Red IPs
Shark Super Chrome
Treet durasharp
Gillette Yellow
Gillette 7o'clock russian (blue?)
Gillette Green
Astra SP

Thanks,
Chris

Iridium Super and 7 O'clock black need to be added to your list....the Yellows and Meds I find harsh in the R41.....so for me, I would scratch them off your list... The Gillette 7o'clock Russian blues, and IP reds I think are the best R41 blades in current line up

7oclock black, and rapira stainless. I'm really liking the r41/rapira combo lately

Thanks for the advice. I can't easily get a sampler quantity of blacks or super iridiums in the UK, so I've just posted on the blade exchange to trade for a pair or each. i've got feathers, yellows and astra SPs in at the moment, and will be buying the others in my list in 10s soon.
