Others have yet to dethone my preferred Rubies. Closely followed by Nacet, Wizamet, Perma - Sharp and GSB.

Depends on the razor. 
My current favorites are Nacet, Feather, Astra SP, & GSB.
Current top two for me have been the Dorco Prime Platinum blades and the Derby Premium blades.
For me the blades I really like (in no particular order) are the Nacets, the Gillette Perma-Sharps, the Silver Stars and the Wilkinson Sword blades.
In fact, at a later date I am going to have a purge of my blade collection and dispense of the blades I really don't like. Further details will be posted on here at a later date as I have some other brands I haven't tried yet.

Ah you mentioned the Astra Stainless, a very fine blade indeed. Just used one for its 10th shave. It’s still cutting nicely.
Blades are very individual. It is hard to recommend one - what works for one person is terrible for the next.
I find I don't much like the platinum coated blades much, although the Personna Platinum Chrome is an exception. They seem to be much duller. My favorite is Voskhod. As my technique improves I find I like sharper blades better than when I first started, in particular Treet Classic and Falcon (carbon steel).
Astra (both SP and SS) is the most overrated blade I've used. Neither very efficient nor very comfortable.

I really like Wilkinson Sword from Germany, but am trying Parker Platinums. Looking to buy a 100 blades, will wait to make decision.

I personally have settled in the gsb blades that have been mentioned a few times here, and have gone through a sleeve of 100 and am starting in another. I recently tried a Nacet blade and really liked it, though I need to give it a few more tries, and was pif'd a pack of Polsilvers that were highly recommended.
