I'm looking for a really sharp DE blade.

[shave/brush]

Right now I use Feather DE blades and I'm happy with them. Just for fun I want to try another very sharp blade. From what I have read in here I noticed these 3 blades also come up as being very sharp.
Gillette Silver Blues, 7' O'clock Yellow, and Personna Red. What blade do you feel is the sharpest after Feather? One of these 3 or something else?

7 o'clock blacks are considered sharp blades. I'd say right up there with Feather blades

 

[BlackBear]

I've found Gillette Platinum Rubie's to be just as sharp as feathers and they last longer.

 

[dieselfuel79]

I like Bolzano's and Med Preps.

 

[Moondoggie]

I just discovered Polsilver SI

When I used DE..Carbon Steel blades felt sharper than my various stainless steel blades

I've looked for Carbon Steel blades before and could not find them. Who sells them?

Treet makes carbon blades still

I wouldn't put Red Personnas or the Silver Blues in the same category as the 7 O'Clock yellows. They're not as sharp in my opinion.

Others to consider trying, in no particular order: Permasharp Supers, Personna Med Preps, Polsilver SIs.

Your mileage will vary.

Definitely try the Yellow 7 O'clocks

 

[Recluse]

IMHO...my top three sharpest are Feather, Kai, & Polsilver SI

 

[Macbreezy]

I think the Yellow Sharp Edge blade is the sharpest blade there is.

Treet Durasharp is very sharp, I find these ( http://connaughtshaving.com/carbon.html ) to be very comfortable too. I can't use Feathers or anything out of PPI except Astras!

PolSilver rules!

 

[freeze205]

I haven't tried a Feather yet, but the sharpest blade I've tried thus far is a Bic Chrome Platinum.

 

[Sir Lurkalot]

Asco blades

Our mileage does vary!!!

IMO, below the "sharpest" Feather, I'd put Super Iridium, Polsilver SI, perhaps 7 O'Clock Yellow. Have to try Kai though.

 

[Flatlander]

7 O'Clock Yellows and 7 O'Clock Blacks are right up there with Feathers in terms of sharp from what I have experienced. Have yet to try Kai, and I hear they are pretty darn sharp.

I've heard Kai's are super sharp.... but I've never tried one. There also kind of hard to find from what I know of them.

I find the Bluebirds to be very sharp - perhaps as sharp as the Gillette Silver Blues.
