Your top 5 DE blades

Gone through a few more samples so updated list. Think bic chrome platinum might only work really good in certain razors, or I have run into a few that were definitely as good as the other ones that I used to like.
1.Gillette Silver Blue
2.Gillette Platinum
3. Gillette 7 o' clock yellow
4. Feather
5. Lord Cool
 
After trying tens and tens of brands, with more than 13 years of wet shaving under my belt, my top five are these:

1. Gillette Perma-Sharp (with the Turkish writing on them).
2. Gillette Nacet
3. Gillette 7 o'clock Sharpedge (yellow)
4. Bic Chrome Platinum
5. Derby Usta

Honorable mention is Voskhod.

There's plenty of other brands I own and use, in my multiple thousand blade collection, but these are my top ones.
 
Bic Astor
Gillette Platinum light blue
Gillette Stainless
Personna ( made in Germany blue 10 pack)
Derby Extra (blue 10 pack)
 
My top 5 has been changing almost weekly as I have been stocking up on different blades...

1. Personna Red
2. Wizamet SI
3. Nacet
4. GSB

5. Tie between Silver Star, Sputnik, Perma-Sharp, Feather and KAI.
Sheesh… My top 5 changes quarterly it seems!

1. Polsilver SS (Polish NOS)
2. Personna Israeli Red
2. Wizamet SI
3. Nacet
4. GSB

Silver Star and Feathers are still up there though!
 
1. Astra SS
2. Personna Lab Blue
3. Bic Chrome Platinum
4. Astra SP
5. Shark Stainless

Note I have only used 8 different blades since 2012.
 
I have tried more blades and found new favourites so my top 5 now:

Super max-blue diam titanium India
Personna - Israel
Personna lab blue-USA
Personna Med. Prep. -USA
Gillette - 7 O'Clock - super platinum india
 
1. Nacet
2. Lord Platinum
3. Gillette Yellow
4. Gillette Russia Green
5. Crown. I like these because they aren’t super sharp and last 10 days of daily use.
 
Settled for years on these three:
- Feather
- Astra Stainless
- Astra Platinum


Living now in Europe, some selections that were readily available in the US are now hard for me to come by, but I more than make that up by a wide selection of shaving brushes, soaps and creams, aftershaves, Eau de Colognes, etc. available here... :thumbup1:

Here are my 5 top DE blades. There are many blades I have not tried. But I love using these blade & they work well on my face. My current favorites in no particular order.

1. Nacets
2. Sharp Edge Yellow
3. GSB
4. Astra SS
5. King C. Gillette, Don't love the price. But love the fact they are the only blades on my list I can buy locally & not have to explain to my wife why I needed more blades. 🤣

Also love using Feathers, but don't love the price.
 
Kai
Polsilver Super Iridium (or the Wizamet version, but finding those is a challenge)
Feather
insert a significant separation
Astra SS
King C Gillette

Kai is by far my favorite, and sure they're more expensive than all the others (except KCG), but at the same time, ~$60 CAD sees me stocked on Kais for at least a couple years, so I'm not really worried about that price.
