A new feather gives me the smoothest shave.
What DE Blade Has Been Your Smoothest Shave?

GSB is the smoothest blade I have used. Honorable mentions go to Voshkod and the other Gillettes.
Have to say the Astra SP.
Among the worst blades for me.
Best is the first shave with a fresh Feather.
Polsilver SI blades are not far behind.
Best balance between sharpness, longevity, and price for me is the Personna Platinum Chrome blade.
Lord Platinum so far
Super Iridiums. Not easy to find nowadays.
Gillette 7'O Yellows... magnificent!
For just about every razor, Astra sp is my blade of choice. The only exception is that I use Feathers in my Feather AS-D2 - they seem to have been made for each other.
1. Personna Med Preps 2. Blue Labs 3. Voshkods

Polsilver SI followed closely by Bic Chrome Platinum for me.
Feather, Astra SP, Polsilver SI.
These are all smooth and great for my beard for about three shaves. I haven't found a blade yet that will go more than three shaves without pulling, and making weepers a plenty.

The totally smooth blade I ever tried is the Gillette Platinum. It lasts me for up to 6-7 shaves without tugging and without loosing it's smoothness
Shark Super Chromes really surprised me. I found them to be as smooth and comfortable as GSBs.
Perma-Sharp Supers
Feather and Astra SP
Astra SP in my Merkur 34C and L3 Slim Adj and feather in my L3 Superspeed
Med Prep, followed closely by Polsilver SI.
Astra SP and Persona Red tied for being the smoothest blades for me.
