Not sure about the choices for the poll since "Gillette" covers a massive amount of ground. I'll be specific and say I chose Gillette and Other. Gillette Silver Blues are my favorites and I really like Polsilver Super Iridiums. I have a bunch of Feathers that I need to spend some time with to see how I like them. I also have used a lot of Voskhods but have since given my Voskhod stash to my son.
 
Excellent old thread!

My ‘top-tier’ for what it is worth:
Nacet
GSB
Astra SP
Personna (labs and reds)
:a29:
 
GSB in my Muhle, Shark Platinum in my 70s Super Speed, and Parkers in my shavette. I've found that's what works for me. But I still have probably 25 different partially and full tucks from when I was sampling. For the next new razor I get.
 
My favourite everyday shave until the blade is finished during rotation change which are:-

Astra Green SP
Gillette Nacet
Gillette Platinum
Gillette Silver Blue
Gillette Stainless (red & white) pack
Vintage English Wilkinson Swords
Vintage Gillette Spoiler
Vintage Wizamet Polsilver Stainless (brown)
Voskhod
Wizamet Super Iridium (same as the Polsilver SI)
 
Gillette Silver Blues are my blade of choice. I probably have around 380 or so of them so I should be set for the foreseeable future. I also want to stock up on the 7 o’clock yellows and PermaSharps (gold and red version)

To be fair, this thread is over a decade old lol!

I wonder what Luc would have included on the list if he posted it today. And man, how could you have given away your Voskho’s? Those things are gold!

I didn't even notice the date of the original post. And I didn't give my Voskhods away. My son is 17. He prefers them. Therefore, he gets them. And they are cheap enough if I want to buy some for myself.
 
In order of usage since June, 2016:

Derby Extra (by a wide margin)
Wilkinson Sword (European)
Derby Premium
7 O'Clock SS (St. Petersburg green)
Personna (US)
Voskhod
Feather
 
I’ve recently become a big fan of Polsilver SI and trying to stockpile as many as I can. I also like GSB, Gillette Platinum, and Nacets
