Most consistant blades?

[onadraw]

Among the blades that many users like, which have the most consistent quality?

And

Which blades would you really like except they are not consistent?

Thanks

I've been using Crystals consistently for many months, and I've only gotten one bad blade so far.

I would say that Iridium Super have been the most consistent blade I've used.

 

[olblueyez]

Iridium and Personna Red

Feather.

I would say feathers, they are consistently sharp. But I prefer other blades too, I had good run with Red IPs and black 7o'clock. I'm not a fan of iridiums

I've had great luck with Feathers, Iridiums, 7 O'Clock Yellows, and Red IPs. Can't think of a bum blade so far.

Wish I could say the same about Derby blades.

I also find Red Personnas, Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellows, and Gillette Bleue Extras consistently top-shelf. I'm now testing Astra SPs and Gillette Super Thins (Thai I think) for consistency.

Then there are the vintage blades - you can't go wrong with Gillette Super Stainless / Spoilers and NOS Super Silvers (American and French).

Haven't had enough experience yet with injector and SE blades to give a solid recommendation, but so far Chinese Schick injectors and Ted Pella GEM SEs have delivered some mighty sweet shaves.

Red IP
Dorco ST 301
German Wilkinsons
Astra Superior Platinums
Lord Super Stainless.

The most consistent blades for me are Iridium Super and Gillette Bleue Extra.

I don't find Feather blades to be very consistent.

Red pack Israeli Personna,
Shark Super Chrome,
Astra Superior Platinum.

My top three razor blades.

 

[SRock]

Gillette 7 O'clock SharpEdge (Yellow Pack)

I've never experienced anything less than fantastic shaves with them.

Shhark Super Chromes. I have a box of Bluebird Blades on the way, I will let everyone know how they fare for me.

I think the most consistant blade I have used is the Vidyut Supermax Super Stainless. They give me a lovely 3 pass BBS and I don't have to think about it. They are also the only blade I have not cut myself at least once with. You can see the other brands I have tried, none of those have been truly bad TBH. That said I have a few more blades I want to try.

Feathers.

I found the following blades to be consistent...

Feathers
Super+ Platinum
Super Iridiums
Blue Birds
Gillette Bleue Extra (NOS)

I've been using Crystals consistently for many months, and I've only gotten one bad blade so far.

Crystal for me as well, but I've NEVER had a bad one...been using them exclusively for nearly 6 months.

Sharp is the most consistant. They are always awful.

Second would be Feathers...they are mostly always awesome. Every now and again I will get a blade that doesn't provide 3 good shaves.
