Gents:
Been futsin' around with my sample pack and came across the Crystal blades made in Israel. I have to say, these are the best so far. I really likes the Astra blades. I know that Feather has a great reputation and they weren't "bad" on my face, but didn't do nearly the job that the Chrystal did (maybe the extra "sharp" reputation of Feathers made me a little too cautious, thus I prevented myself from enjoying the full potential of that blade?). The Merkurs were lame and the Derbys didn't agree with me.
I was able to get a nice close shave on my neck with the Chrystals, without the burn and irritation. My cheeks and sides are as smooth as if I used my SR. Very good blade. I think I've stopped looking, it's Chrystal followed by Astras for me.
