Your favorite: Swedish G's or Feathers?

I've used several brands, including Feather. My son prefers Feathers, but I like the Swede for the same reasons posted above. I do want to try some of the 7 O'Clock blades for comparison, but the Swedes have been my go to blade for some time and I tend to settle on something I like and stick with it.
Tough choice; for me Feathers in the slant, Swedes in Vision
Coincidentally, I tried the Swede for the first time today from my West Coast Sampler. In a Blue Tip! DFS - Damn Fine Shave. The Feathers are f'n sharp, and I can get away with a nick or two - and the shave is close, no question (see my poem entry for the Carnival [shameless promotion]), but the Swede was amazingly smooth and forgiving and for such a gently razor, amazingly close. You must try it!
I've tried most of the popular blades via one of the sample packs. The Swede's are my overall favorites, but I do use Feathers occasionally in my milder razors like the Tech and the SS....mainly because I still have a few packs to use up.
The Futur, Aristocrat, Fat Boy, HD and Slant always get loaded with Swede's.
I'd say Swede's get my top pick, Derby's #2 and Feathers #3 as an occasional blade.
But.....my beard is not overly coarse and/or thick. Just kind of average I guess.

Well, you are polling my top two favorite blades. But my number 1 is Feather.

Gillettes are all I use anymore.

+1. Feathers and Swedes are in a class of their own.

I agree - pretty much the only 2 blades I use anymore.
I'd say Feathers are a tad sharper but I get more shaves out of the Swedes
Why does everyone keep mentioning that the Swedes don't rust? I have been using Feathers for almost two years and I have never seen the slightest speck of rust on any of them.

The thread below was going at the same time as this one - with pictures of a rusty Feather. But I've never had any kind of stainless blade rust on me so far and I've enjoyed using Feathers even though I prefer Swedes. They're both top quality blades.Why does everyone keep mentioning that the Swedes don't rust?
