Easily Feather, simply the smoothest and best blade out there, especially if you have sensitive skin like me.

 

[tulsamanny]

Of the few I've tried:
Gillette NACET
ASTRA SP

Looking to try VOSKHODs and GSBs

Find a razor that a Feather works in and be done. That is all. Feather.

Highly depends on the razor

This is absolutely true +1.

Depending on the razor: Kai, Personna Israeli Platinum Red & Med Prep, Bolzano, Silver Star, Wizamet S.I., probably a couple I'm forgetting (long day).

Just my opinion.

Don't believe in the cult of blades . Any of my current blades are fine. BIC, Astra SS, Polsilver, 7 O'clock SS, even the Chinese Suneko would be fine in any of my razors. Except I wouldn't likely buy Polsilver or Wizamet again if they carried a cult price penalty. The $17 I paid was 2x the BICs and they're no better.

Blades are definitely a YMMV situation.

I think that the best advice we can give to folks asking about blades is to get a blade sampler or two and try several different blades.

Let personal experience be their guide.

Sorry to be a ‘politician’ but I have a top-tier (and my favorite depends on the particular day):
Personna lab
Personna red
GSB
Nacet
Astra SP

Same here. I have three favorite blades:
Crown Super Stainless (very smooth)
Nacet (super sharp and long lasting)
Personna Platinum (very sharp and very smooth)

It's funny how most other shaving products are much less polarizing than blades. I believe it's because blade precision is as precise as it gets, followed by razors, and then soaps and brushes hardly matter at all. We have preferences for the latter, but the former is stuff we insist upon. Anyway... all your blades are trash! Mine are the best! lol

That's one theory , another is many perceive difference where none really exist, which is where I think the truth lies.

Lesson from 45 years as an audiophile.

Voskhod, though Tatra platinum are pushing them pretty hard.
