lord blades: various versions?

[mastershake]

wow it seems lord has a ton of versions out there. besides the other brands.

what are the best / better made by lord blades? if im correct asco and big ben, shark and others are all lord. but are they any better than the lord branded blades directly? ive read a lot of people say they are all the same to them didnt matter the brand. i have VERY tough hair and somewhat sensitive skin on the neck. im interested in trying some of their blades but where to start?? are the asco etc actually better generally than say the lord plat's or stainless versions??

thank you for any input

The thread below has some opinions on the various Lord blades.

I can get a few good shaves from Lord Platinum. Sharks have never worked well with my face.
Asco are pretty good, for me they felt smoother than Shark. I've never tried Big Ben.

thank you. is it for sure that most are the same blades? this seems to be stated around many places but i could find nothing for sure..
