I posted this in 2016 and updated it about 22 days ago. My opinions remain unchanged, updates in italics.

I do not rank blades anymore, I just have a list of what I will and will not shave with. My lists:

Will buy and use

• Astra
• Feather
• Gillette 7 O'clock (green, black and yellow)
• Vikings Sword (Israeli) <-- I am finding these the ones I turn to most.
• Wilkinson Sword (German)
• VDH (German) - Require an extra pass for the result I like but they do a good job.
• Personna Platinum <-- Tried recently and unbelievably smooth.

Will not buy but will use:

• Rockwell
• Lord Big Ben (B402) (Egypt)
• 7 AM Hi-Platinum Durablade (Bangladesh) - good blades, but only last 2 shaves before they pull.

Will not buy or use

• Merkur
• Shark
• Dorco (made in Hell if you ask me)
• Derby (made in Heck, just outside of Hell IMO)
• Treet

Hard to choose as some blades work better in some razors, but as a whole I tend to go for the following blades.

Astra SP
Polsilver
Bolzano
Wilkinson Sword (Germany)
Dorco ST-301

I also like Nacet, 7`O'clock Black, Personna Med Prep, Lord Platinum, and GSB. Lots of good performing blades out there.

 

[been around]

In order: Favorite to just OK

Personna IP and variations Crystals, Viking Sword
GSB
Nacet
Astra SP
Gillette Plats (new blue box)

1. German Wilkinson Sword - just the perfect combination of smoothness and sharpness + top notch durability
2. Lord Platinum - sharp, but smooth, but still not as sharp and smooth as the Wilkies, but an excellent blade

The next 3 are quite close, not much separating them:
3. Shark SS - great in aggressive razors for people if you don't have very tough facial hair
4. Rapira Platinum Lux - can be tuggy under the nose, but overall it's decent blade, won't give you irritation, I just wish it is a bit sharper
5. Astra SS - smooth, no blade feel, but sharp enough, very good blade
