Top 5 Essential Blades.

I want to do a project, complying a list of the top 25 blades. I need your help to list your top 5 essential blades that you use.

I will start off;

1. Gillette Silver Blue
2. Voshkod
3. Red Persona
4. Gillette 7 o'clock Black
5. Israeli Persona

In no particular order:

1. Personna Red
2. Personna Blue (Israeli)
3. Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow
4. Personna Blue (med prep)
4. Astra SP

This list could easily change as I still have over half a dozen brands of blades I haven't tried yet. This is what I came up with after a year of DE shaving.
 
1.Personna Lab
2.Personna Barber (white paper, no text on blades)
3.Rapira Swedish Supersteel
4.Perma Sharps
5.Gillette Black
 
  1. POLSILVER SUPER IRIDIUM
  2. Gillette 7 o'clock Super Platinum (black, made in India)
  3. Gillette 7 o'clock Super Platinum (blue, made in Russia)
  4. Wilkinson Sword (Solingen)
  5. Astra SP
 
My list -
1) Feathers
2) Gillette Silver Blue
3) Personna Med Prep
4) Gillette 7 O'clock Black
5) Personna Reds

Blades are arguably the most YMMV part of the DE experience, so take any list with a big grain of salt.
 
1. Gillette Silver Blue
2. Polsilver Super Iridium
3. Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Platinum (Blue)
4. Astra Superior Platinum
5. Feather
