Finished my blade sampler. What's next?

So I finished my blade sampler and have had some good shaves. Here are the results:

(also see http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=168196).

I find that I am most comfortable with blades that are very smooth. Most of the 4/5s have been smooth, but most still felt sharp on my face. I have the issue of a coarse beard with sensitive skin. What should I look to try out next. I've identified these three. Am I missing any others?

Personna (Red Pack) are the smoothest blades for my coarse beard. Iridium Super and Gillette Yellow are very similar and didn't go along with my face.
