I recently picked up a reallly nice 58 superspeed and was wondering what blade some of you use in yours. I have Astras and Red pack personnas but was just checking.
Good blade for 58 superspeed

Reds! 
Astras!
Both!
I have a TV special and find that it works well with very sharp blades. So Feathers, Crystals, and NOS Gillette Spoilers.
Blades I've liked so far in mine: Sharks, Astra, German Wilkinson
Not so much: Indian Wilinkson, Red Personna

I like Gillette 7 o'clock yellow pack in my flare tip ss and personna red pack blades in my slim adjustable super speed. I've been reading a lot about iridiums lately, may have to give them a go pretty soon to see what all the fuss is about.
I think the SS is pretty flexible and will shave well with a variety of blades.
I have used red IP's, derby's, crystals, and feathers in a SS. I guess my favorite for the SS is a Derby.

Astra or Feather

Crystal is working well so far
The one that works best for you.
Most often Reds.
I like almost all the blades I've tried in my 58 SS, but the Gillette yellows and greens are my favorites. Wilkinsons are a close third.
My SS is a '49 and don't know if that makes a difference but so far I've gotten great blade life and smooth shaves out of Gillette Yellows and Crystals. I haven't tried Reds or Astra Platinums yet but will soon, I have some on order.
