I definitely haven't enjoyed the Derby Extras I've tried.
Worst Blade

Big Ben derby and derby extra horrible
Voskhods don't seem to work well for me. I'm not sure what the qualities are that others like about them, but they just aren't sharp enough for my beard (which is somewhat coarse but I don't think that coarse). It just skips a lot and isn't smooth. I also tried some blade from a sample pack once, I think it was either a Lord or maybe a Crown, but it was in a green wrapper and MAN did it suck.
Never say never in blades. Like u i hates derby extras but after 8months of practise, its not that bad of a blade. Still doesnt come in top 10 list for me but its not bad.
Worst i used was i thk a ripeoff wilkinson blade.
It said wilkinson sword, pack was like wilkinson china, but it was made in indonesia. It was black colour blade. I can not tell you how bad a blade it was.
Bic Chrome Platinum.
It's too sharp for me. I finally found my graal with the Gillette Bleue Extra.

Anything made by Lord feels like sandpaper on my face.
Feather Hi Stainless. Tried a few from 2 different boxes. Was like 50 grit sandpaper on my face.
To me, the Derby Premium is a million miles away from an Extra. I threw away the Extra blades I had free when purchasing some other items as they were so bad, but I bought 200 Premiums a few months ago.
Voshkod also for me. Incredibly rough. The only blade I’ve ever thrown away mid shave.
The blades which came with my fake merkur futur where horrible.
voshkod I did not like either
Wilkinson no deal
Polsilver naaaaahhh
in the end I did find the right blade for that razor and and In some cases i never did and ended with selling the razor

About 30-35 years ago my sister got me a bunch of BIC disposables for Xmas (among other things of course).
After I finished stemming the blood flow from all the cuts, I told her not to get me any more disposable shavers of any kind ever again. I still won't buy disposable razors regardless of how fancy/gimmicky.
I must have gotten some from the same batch. About the same time frame(30 some years ago) I decided to go the economy route since my twin cartridges were getting a little expensive so I bought a pack of these. Man talk about pulling and yanking. needless to say I was back to cartridges right away. I could not imagine what they are like now since I think my whiskers are twice as tough.
I forgot to mention another one and that is the Wilkinson Sword sealed in the blue blister pack. I think they are made in Mexico. It was a mistake at the time of purchase thinking these were the classics and really disappointed when they showed up.
The absolute worst blade I have ever used. They simply tug. Next up? Rockwell Blades, great razors, horrible blades.
Shark Super Chrome. Didn't cut the beard so much as tear the hairs out. Even worse than Derbys.
Mine would have to be Gillette 7 O clock. Although I was a newbie with a mild razor at the time, nothing cut me up more than that razor. I had a better time with Astra and Feather Oddly enough.
You cannot just say Gillette 7 O'Clock as there are four different blades in the 7 O'Clock lineup. There are the Sharpedge Yellows from Russia, the Super Stainless Russian Greens, the Permasharp Indian Greens and the Super Platinum Blacks from India. Although the two greens are somewhat similar, there is a huge difference between the Yellows and Blacks.
