Just a caveat: These tests are quite old now and not comprehensive. Testing one blade of each brand is not really good technique, statistically speaking that is a very small sample size. There are many blades out there he does not test at all. Also, note that the only objective comparison is a test of sharpness on a particular machine. Everything else is one man's subjective experience. Note that he does not test blades beyond just a few shaves with each.Check out this page if you really want an objective comparison of blade sharpness.

That was the study I was looking for, and other than small sample sizes a good start. It did indicate that a Feather blade was sharpest out of the box, and unlike almost every other blade actually decreased in sharpness with use starting with the second shave, so if you're a multiple-use blade shaver, the Feather wouldn't be a first choice.Just a caveat: These tests are quite old now and not comprehensive.

As long as a blade is sharp enough to cut your whiskers, there is not much benefit to additional sharpness. This means other factors, such as comfort and durability need to considered, not just sharpness.

Did you have a second shave with them?I bought Bic Chrome Platinum based on that page and they’re nice, but don’t feel particularly sharp compared to a Gillette Nacet or Shark Platinum.

They're definitely sharper than Feathers past the first shave. And smoother!
As always another YMMV situation. Amazing how this all works (differently) for everyone.Absolutely! Minimum of two shaves with six being common and nineteen once just because
I’ll take your word on sharper, but smoother depended more on me than the blade for both. Bics felt duller compared to Nacet and Feather for me.
Here are a few to consider:I just got a Henson mild razor, and I thought I might like to try some sharper blades in it. I have not particularly enjoyed Feather blades in the past, so I'm wondering what are some other sharper brands out there.
