No nicks or cuts, no irritation, very smooth blade. Closeness was DFS or DFS+.

Shark Super Chrome (first set)
3 blades 8 shaves

IMO the best of the Sharks

Silver Star Super Stainless
3 blades 8 shaves
Average score 0.997
A very good blade that retains smoothness and sufficient sharpness through 3 shaves in the EJ 3ONE6.

Egyptian Bolzano Superinox
3 blades 10 shaves
Average score: 0.9925
This blade produced excellent shaves. Most were BBS or near BBS. Nicks or cuts were produced on 3 of the 10 shaves.

Personna Lab Blue
Razor: Merkur HD34C
2 blades 5 shaves
Average score 0.980
No nicks or cuts, no irritation, very smooth. Closeness was mostly DFS+.

ASCO Super Stainless Orange
Razor: Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 Knurled handle
2 blades 6 shaves
Average score 0.9875
No nicks or cuts, no irritation, very smooth. Closeness was mostly DFS+. Blades appear to be good for 3 shaves.

ASCO Super Stainless Red/Blue
Razor: Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 Knurled handle
2 blades 4 shaves
Average score 0.99375
No nicks or cuts, no irritation, very smooth. Mostly DFS+ or BBS shaves. Blade lasts two shaves.


Gillette Perma-Sharp Gold box
Rex Supply Co Envoy
3 blades 15 shaves
Average score: 1.0
No nicks or cuts, no irritation, mostly BBS in shave quality and closeness, very smooth result. All a pleasant shave experience.
The blades last 5 shaves easily.

Edwin Jagger 3ONE6
Gillette Perma-Sharp (Gold Box)
2 blades used on 10 shaves
On the first blade, 3rd shave, a nick on the chin was created which kept reopening on subsequent shaves. I shaved with less efficient tools for 2 days allowing this site to heal. First two shaves on this blade were excellent showing the potential of this combo.

On the second blade I started with a facial cleanser and showered after shaving. Additionally, I used a much lighter touch and used caution on the chin area. With those two changes, the combo achieved 5 really nice shaves.

At this time I prefer the Rex Envoy + Gillette Perma-Sharp combo over the Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 + Gillette Perma-Sharp. The Envoy appears more efficient with less risk of creating a nick. However, it is very easy to over shave with it. The 3ONE6 appears less efficient and easier to generate cuts or nicks. However, I’m not likely to over shave with it. There maybe another blade that makes the 3ONE6 truly shine.

Rex Supply Co Envoy
Bic Chrome Platinum
2 blades 8 shaves
8 irritation free shaves ranging from DFS to BBS
These blades are not as sharp as the Gillette Perma-Sharp (Russia) but they are nice and smooth through 4 shaves.

Rex Supply Co Envoy
Shark Platinum
2 blades 6 shaves
6 irritation free shaves ranging from DFS to BBS.
These blades are not as sharp as other blades but they are very smooth. I strongly suspect the first blade was a dud. It felt ready to be binned.

RazoRock GC68-P
Lord Platinum Class
1 blade 3 DFS+ shaves

RazoRock Mamba 0.53
Shark Platinum
1 blade 3 shaves 2 DFS+ 1 DFS

RazoRock Mamba 0.53
Lord Platinum Class
1 blade 3 shaves 2 DFS+ and 1 DFS

The Lord Platinum Class and Shark Platinum performed the same in the RazoRock Mamba 0.53. I could not observe any appreciable difference.

The RazoRock GC68-P made it a bit easier to achieve a consistent DFS+ using the Lord Platinum Class.

Muhle R89
Gillette Silver Blue
1 blade 5 shaves
First four shaves:
No nicks, No irritation, Very Smooth and pleasant DFS+ shaves.
Fifth shave: 1 nick, No irritation, very smooth and pleasant DFS+

No cuts, No irritation, very smooth, very close and pleasant DFS+ shaves.

Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 Knurled Handle
PolSilver Super Iridium
2 blades 7 shaves
On a fourth shave the blade dulls quickly so not worth the effort on a fourth shave.
The first 3 shaves produced the following:
No nicks, No irritation, very smooth, very close and pleasant BBS shaves.

Happy shaves

I need to start using the Vanilla Sandalwood a bit more.

Lounging On The Isle Of Tugsley.
I wonder if something changed in the production of Bic Chrome Platinum blades. There’s the fabled “sharper the second shave” blades of internet and there’s the really smooth, but not “yowza” sharp blades of recent vintage. I like them a lot, but other blades seem sharper.
 
@thombrogan things do change over time. The user’s technique and the razors they use, lather quality, the blade’s quality, the user’s skin conditions just to name a few.

Recently, I had issues with Parker blades while no one else seems to. So I might retry those at a later date.

Since my technique has changed quite a bit, I may want to revisit the Bic Platinums. But, the shave den probably has 20 years worth of shaves in it already in blades.

In the 3ONE6 sharp and smooth camp: Gillette Perma-Sharp (gold box), PolSilver SI and probably Gillette Platinum (tbd). Other blades were done before I started the journal.
