If you'd like to try another German-made blade, then you could add the ELIOS Inoxidable to your list.

More than 30 of us tested the ELIOS blades for a recent Participation PIF hosted by @Grundi and @Space_Cadet. The vast majority found these blades to be smooth, consistent, and long-lasting.

Sputnik blades are great for me. Croma diamont blades are okay for German blades. For a country that makes some of the best straights, they really make some awful DE blades. Muhle and Merkur DE blades are just about unusable. The rest are YMMV. But I personally don’t care for any of the other blades in your list. But other people love lots of those blades. You just have to try them all and see what clicks for you.

I would add the Personna lab (or med prep) which is made in the US and Nacet: two great blades for me!!

 

[santamariasteve]

I like the German Wilkinson's and the American Personna Lab Blue's.

 

[lancre]

I would add:
Derby Usta
Bluebird
Personna Lab Blues and/or Med Preps which are US made.
Shark Super Stainless/Super Chrome/Platinum

I love the German Wilkinson Sword blades; they are almost all I use. I wouldn't use any of the others on your list to order. Maybe the Rapiras. But blades are very YMMV.

Try the Tatra they are very good blades and the Tiger blades are identical!

Derby premium and tatra are good blades and the german personnas are replacing the israel ones if qc is the same it's a really good blade. Some of the lord blades can be excellent, but silver star and lord platinums are ones I would definitely try out. Sharks can be a decent blade some rave about them I only found the stainless a decent sharp blade nothing too special though.

In my sampler pack as interesting as the different blades were for me, those that were difficult to obtain or ridiculously expensive never made it past the "just for fun" point of the trial. Feather blades for example were very sharp but they lacked longevity for me....the fact that they were double the price or more of a BiC blade automatically removed them from the running of my top 3.

I've been trying out different blades for the past 3/4 months, these are my favourites in this order

1. polsilver
2. perma sharp
3. Gillette nacet
4. Gillette silver blue
5. Astra SP

 

[Ravenonrock]

Gillette Silver Blue
Astra Sp
Feather
Wilkinson Sword
Derby

Don't be afraid of Chinese blades like Cloud etc. Trying a tuck or two won't break the bank & you might find a blade you like.

I just finished doing several shaves comparing left vs right using a Lab Blue vs Super Max Blue Diamond. The Super Max holds its' own against the Lab Blue and is worth having in my blade rotation.
