Feathers for me, without question. Fantastic 2 pass shaves.

For me it has to be a Feather also. 
I use IP's in all my razors. Of course, blades are highly YMMV -- you sort of need to try several for yourself before you know what works best for you.
A big +1 on IPs--there my favorite! However I do use Feathers in my slant and Chatsworth YMMV

i'm trying to get a sample pack together of all the blades that people like, this way i can test them out and see which ones i like
I just have Derbys. I did like the Red IP's and will probably get some of them next.
IP's as well as the Dorco ST301
The Dorco is a mild blade, which pairs well with an aggressive razor.. YMMV!

Let's see, tried Wilkinsons, Derbys, Dorcos, Feathers, etc. etc. etc.
None seem to work for me.
This maybe due to I don't like shaving with a Slant.
OMG, I just got an idea!
I should sell my Slant.

If you're selling, I'm buying!
My first shave with a Gold Slant was using the Indian 7 O'Clock Permasharp Green label blade. Got 6 WOW smooth BBS shaves.

Israeli Reds...all I shave with anymore. I'm not a big fan of sampling blades...because that can often result in a bad shave for me. Once I've found a couple of blades that work, I'll stick to em.
I can only do feathers if they are corked and I have a heavy beard; even then they are so sharp that I usually get a weeper or nick.
