My face likes these combos . what blades should I make sure to try

[JoshInCA]

Everyone's mileage notoriously varies, but maybe this is worth a shot.

I've begun to get a sense of some of the razor/blade combinations that work for me, and I thought, just maybe, other gents who hold the same combos in high esteem might also have a sense of what new blades I should try.

So ... my face likes the EJ89 with the Derby Class (and pretty much likes the same blade in my mid-60s SuperSpeed and Milord). Right now that's my standard of comparison. I've also really liked the Treet Platinums and Bluebirds in the EJ89 -- and liked the Lord Platinum Class and Shark Super Stainless a bit less well.

On the OC side, my Cadet TP-26 and the Gillette 7 O' Clock Green work well (although I have the sense that ouit there somewhere there's an even better blade for this razor, for me).

Any recommendations, based on these -- or just based on your thoughts on a must-not-miss to try out? I'm still in the sampling phase after several months of DE shaving.

Thanks to all!

Comparable to Derby - Personna red pack, Bic Chrome Platinum, Supermax Super Platinum, Crystal, Astra

Comparable to 7o'clock green - pretty much all the 7o'clock blades, Polsilver, Gillette Silver Blue, Feather, Personna Lab/Med

Give Red Pack Personnas a try for sure. Very smooth blade, for me anyways. On the other end, give the 7 O'Clock blues (Russia) and blacks (India) a try.
