What razor blade did you use today? How many days?

Rockwell blade, 2, in a vintage Hoffritz Slant. An excellent razor for me, but on Saturday the blade gave me far too much blade feel. On the off chance that I'd neglected to tighten the razor down when I loaded the blade last week, thus giving a much more aggressive shave, I repeated the shave this morning, 48 hour beard, same conditions, soap et al. The first pass was unpleasant.
I tossed the blade and loaded a Rapira Super Stainless. The two are not directly comparable; the Rapira went to work on a beard that had already been reduced, while the Rockwell was tackling a full 48-hour set of bristles. But passes 2 and 3 went much better.

Amazon Solimo (3) in new Vikings Blade Chieftain razor that arrived today.
With all blades I tried in my Wilkinson Sword Classic I would get slight tugging going ATG. With this new Chieftain razor I get no tugging ATG. I will likely revisit other blades I haven't liked before in my Wilkinson Sword Classic Razor and see how they perform in the Chieftain.
