What DE Blade Has Been Your Smoothest Shave?

[Vespasian]

Tonight's Feather, 1st shave, is the best, closest shave since I returned to DE shaving 8 months ago. Going to get 100.

Just pulled out a feather as well. First wasn't great, but my second shave was perfect. We will see what happens over the next few shaves. I may just stick with the Lord Platinums, as I was very impressed by them as well.

For me it's:
1. Astra SS
2. Sharp Durablade
3. Gillette Silver Blue

So far for me it is the Polsilver SI. These were the last ones that I tried from my blade sampler when I first switched to DE. Before that it was Astra SP.

Personna Lab Blues for me followed closely by 7 O'Clock yellows.

PolSilver SI, Perma-Sharp Super, Gillette Platinum are all smooth and sharp for me.

 

[KLF]

Gillette Platinum and Q-Ball are the smoothest for me

 

[NJVN]

Gillette 7 O'clock Yellow followed by Shark Super Chrome for me.

Bolzano, by a wide margin. Feather and Astra give me the worst burn imagineable in every razor I try. Lord SS are my second favorite.

Used a a Feather for the first time last week and I gotta say that I see what all the hype is about. Smoothest shave ever.

Polsilver SI followed by Gillette 7O'Clock Black Indian.

Astra SP and Gillette Platinum blades don't skip, tug, or bite me.

Personna Reds. Used them for eight good shaves without noticing a difference. Finally tossed them in order to use other blades, but I suspect the Personna had a few more shaves left on it.

ALMOST an even tie between Gillette Swords (India) and Israel Personna's. Swords slightly sharper but Personna's slightly smoother.

Vintage Wilkinson Super Sword Edge.

The smoothest shave I ever had was with a 1960's Scottish made Perma Sharp. Alas they have been out of production for about 50 years so from current production blades I get the smoothest shaves from Gillette Silver Blues, Astra SS and Rapira Super Stainless.

I have about 250 of the Scottish Perma Sharp blades. They require a shave or two to shave in but I get a weeks worth of comfortable shaves from a blade.

Astra SP

My blade for every shave
