Smoothest Blade ?

Treet Durasharp in a 60's Superspeed.

Made in England Wilkinson blades are very smooth. There are others that are smooth as well such as Made in Sweden Gillettes.

Made in India 7 o'clock green. Good for 3 super smooth shaves. I bought 1000 of them last year.

Rapira Platinum Lux. 2 shaves.

Voskhod but really dull on 2nd use for me.

Skark, Gillette Platinum.

As you can see from the answers, everyone has a different blade! For me, GSB and Polsilver si are best .

Smoothness, I am guessing, is a function of blade, skin, hair. Since most of us have used a variety of blades in different razors, with different soaps the choice of smoothest blade in a shaver's experience would seem to be based on how the blade, skin and hair interact, regardless of razor, lather, or technique. Seems to prove the adage YMMV.

I haven’t used a lot of handles, and have tried a few different blades. The one for me is Gillette spoiler in my super 84. Sometimes when everything is aligned with prep, it feels like there isn’t even a blade in my razor

 

[Tonysco]

Personna platinum, shark or Wilkinson sword blades are the best for me.

Feathers are also very smooth in non-aggressive razors.

 

[cyberdog]

Very razor dependent for me.

In my Timeless 95 OC, so far nothing seems smoother than a Personna Red
In my Gillette Adjustables, a KAI reigns supreme, although a Rapira Platinum Lux isn't too far behind
In just about any other razor I have, it's the Rapira Platinum Lux, followed by a Nacet & Wilkinson Sword Classic

Of course I have enough different blades for a prolonged trade dispute with Russia if one should occur, with a good 80 each of the Rapira Platinum Lux, Wilkinson Swords, Nacets, KAIs, and maybe 60 Pol-Silvers, not to mention 1-6 tucks of various other blades ranging from Astra SP, Bolzano, all the way to Feather. - At an average of 10 shaves per blade, that's a lot of shaves.

Personna med preps and vintage Gillette platinum plus. The current Gillette platinum from St.Petersburg are almost as smooth.

My Face Loves Vintage Gillette Spoilers
works well with almost all my Razors View attachment 931334

I find that with all my vintage blades, which is all I use anymore, that it doesn't matter what razor you use. A good blade is a good blade, and all the blades I use are smooth. If there is a difference it's slight and I'd give the edge to Wilkinson Light Brigades with Personna 74s and Super Stainless ( usa version ) and Gillette Platinum Plus close behind.

My go to are Astra SP blades in my SS Timeless .68 however I used Wilkinson Sword blades for the first time tonight & it was the best DE shave Ive ever had. Super smooth with zero irritation, cant wait to use them again tomorrow

 

[Twelvefret]

I really like Astra blades

 

[Invicta]

Gillette Silver Blue has a nice blend of smoothness and sharpness but the Astra SP is not far behind.

 

[Twelvefret]

I am finding a coticule honed blade is both sharp and smooth.

 

[Starsky]

At this point I find Astra SPs and Gillette Silver Blues are the smoothest but I’m still venturing.

 

[DSK]

Smoothest blade I have ever tried is Personna Crystal

 

[DrStrange]

When I DE shave, I use Shark Super Chrome blades.
Those blades irritate me the least.
I use a 1940's style Gillette Super Speed.
