I have used the Gillette Permasharp Stainless blade. I get a close shave with no events, and no irritation. They aren't my favorite blade but I get a good shave from them. To me they shave somewhat similar to an Astra SP. YMMV.
If one were to poll 100 people about their favorite 7 O'clock blade the distribution would probably be equal across the types. You should sample a slip to fine the ones you prefer.

Hi...thanks for the response.....I've tried all the 7o'clock....except this one which i'll. ...probably end up gettinga few of,, I just like to run it....past the folks here to see.....what the largest consensus is. ..
I'm a bit polarised when it comes to choosing razors and blades - the only blades I'm interested in need to be reasonably priced, sharp enough for 3 or 4 shaves per blade, depending on cost/100, smooth and comfortable to shave with.
Top of the list no matter how efficient or economical a blade is, if I don't enjoy shaving with it, I don't want it in my rotation. My pet hates are blades that deliver good results, but are either so harsh it feels like my face is being licked by a cat, or worse, so smooth I can't feel the blade cutting through the stubble, there's just no fun in that. I've got the same requirements when it comes to the razors that I use the blades in.
All of my blades have one more requirement - they need to be usable in any of my razors - I'll use a blade in a TTO one day, then a 3-Piece the next, then in a different TTO the next day, and if it's one of my best blades, I'll use it in a different 3-Piece on the final day before I toss the blade.
I haven't tried any of the Russian made 7 O'Clocks, but the Indian made 7 O'Clock Green is one of my favourite blades, it ticks every box that I've listed above.
I was blown away by how smooth and comfortable it felt to shave with, yet also sharp enough for 4 good shaves per blade, which is all I expect from any blade. They're reasonably priced too.
I tried the Indian 7 O'Clock Black for comparison and although they're not bad, I found them to be a bit harsh after the 3rd shave, for the price, I think the 7 O'Clock Green are the better blades and much better value.
Indian made 7 O'Clock Green blades will always be in my cool books - up there with Bic Chrome Platinum, Racer Super Class Platinum, Personna Platinum, German Wilkinson Sword and Zaza blades - all of which are smooth, comfortable and enjoyable to shave with, and sharp enough for 4 good shaves per blade.
