Yeah, you will be leaving some of those in your Last Will and Testament my friend! Great blade.
if you had to choose one de blade for the rest of your life, which one would it be?

For me, Gillette Silver Blue is by far my favorite all around performer. Kai's would be my second choice. They're not bad, after the first couple of shaves.
My experience as well!
There was a thread a couple of weeks ago where the Polsilver and Wizamet blades were examined under a 200x microscope. Pics were posted. They were quite different. I was surprised as they look the same to the naked eye, and they shave the same.
I knew it!! Years back when I still used modern blades sometimes I was part of a group that did a comparison and was one of the few who felt a difference. The Wizamet SI came out on top for me personally...
The bevel on the Wizzy looked better in the pics. I wonder if there was a manufacturing change, or a machinery upgrade on that line. I would suspect if we looked at the last Polsilver and the next most recent Wizzy from right after, they might be the same. I dont recall the date stamps used for the microscope test. It very well could have been 2016 Polsilver and 2020 Wizzy for all I know. I have lots of each, and without doing a side by side shave-off, they seem the same to me. Close enough anyway. And if the Wizzy is indeed better, that's okay too!
My first choice would be GSB.

Dorco.
They are about as sharp as a flat river rock so they will be easy to replace.

Me too. They also feel the same to me. But science is science. And since in this hobby we obsess about the minutia of things like blades, it interests me.
I also have a USB microscope and many different polsilver and wizamet blades. I moved houses recently, and it is still buried in storage. As soon as I dig it out, I will check out some of the older versus newer blades and compare them.
Gillette Super Platinum Russian Blue pack for me. Unfortunately they are gone forever now and I was not able to stock up before they left us.

I bought them when I first started DE shaving. I was a bit of a Made in U.S.A. snob at the time and had no experience with any other blades so I bought the only ones available. I assumed a blade was a blade.
Nacet for me as well.
Backup would be PIR (not convinced the German-made replacements are quite the same though).

Astra SPs they work well for me in my DE razors and my half DE shavettes
