I have tried astra,dorco,personna,wilkinson sword and various types of gillette. All have been very good. Lately though, i bought some topaz platinum blades from India. They were really cheap for 50. I have used one blade every day for ten days now and have had great shaves. I do clean and wipe the blade down thoroughly after each use and lightly draw each side of the blade over a piece of 0.25 lapping film a couple of times. I am now obsessed with seeing how many shaves i can get out of one blade.
I would rate these as good as the dorco and personna for sharpness but cannot comment on consistency yet as i have only used the one blade so far.
I would like to know if anyone else has tried them yet.
