What blade is the WORST for you.....

Merkur. The only "bad" blade I've ever used. Others like Derby don't work very well for me, but Merkur just makes bad blades IMO.
Asco Super Stainless, Treet Platinum, and 7 a.m. Platinum Hi Stainless; all 3 really tugged on my beard. It was actually painful. I'm another that got a batch of counterfeit Lord Super Stainless blades (without the thin silver strip near the bottom of the box) that were horrible.
I really do not have blades that I hate...more so blades that I would never purchase again. Most modern blades that I have tried will provide a more than serviceable shave as long as I properly prep my beard. With that said, Derby, Merkur, and ASR Personna (CVS-branded) blades are not exactly my favorite ones.
Derby's Extra, Shark SS, and by far the worst, Super-Max Stainless and Bolzano Superinox ( even though some people say are great blades )
Shark SS and Derby's. Shark on account of poor quality control and derby because they are so dull.
Lord Platinum. I couldn't even make it through pass two. It was uncomfortable and had me bleeding like a stuck pig.
Feathers and Merkurs. I get better shaves from Dorcos.
Dorcos and Merkurs. I get the best shaves with Feathers.

Merkurs and German Wilkies.
I've come to the conclusion that my face doesn't like German blades.
Anything out of Russia, Egypt and Israel is usually GTG as far as I'm concerned.

Merkur, Derby, Lord Platinum, and G7OC Yellow all make want to go back to cartridges or become a Neanderthal...
Depends. It is all BLADE + RAZOR combination.
Personna Lab Blue is the only blade wich gives me a painful bloody shaving, when mounted in my Slant bar, the razor that gives me smoooooth shaves with every other blade, including Dorcos.
This very same Personna blade just gave me an excellent DFS mounted in my Gillette Red Tip.
Before blaming a blade try combine it with another razor.

Feathers. No matter how careful I am, I don't get that close of a shave, the sink looks like an episode of Dexter.
For me the derby extra terible blades.

I share your opinion about lord blades i love them no iratations no Burns they work good for me.
I like to try a sample pak of Israëli's peronna reds
And Gillette goal blades not like them
derby, no way i could do a complete pass with it.
next least fave would be a merk but much better than the derby for me

Derby for sure! And if I had to pick a second it would be either a Personna Red in my Tech or a Crystal in my NEW. But the latter choices are both MUCH better than a Derby.
I see there is no negatieve experience with the red Israëli's peronna i think that i will do good by order a sample of these blades.
