Bottom Tier of Modern DE Blades

I'll catch holy hell for saying this but I've never had a good shave from Astra Platinum's

No, it used to be my most despised blade as well.

I concur with TommyCarioca . It was the first official blade I disliked. I could never use one without getting nicked. I only recently found the will to try them again and finally had a good experience with them. It still won't be one of my favorites, but from time to time I will likely use one again.

I can't get a good shave from one, if that is all we were offered I would have a foil shaver!

Lol they are an enigma wrapped in a conundrum. The most popular blade on Amazon. I found 2 razors they work in. Almost gave up on them.

dtownvino I never could either. Last time I tried the most recently, I was finally able to get pretty good shaves from it. It still won't be a favorite, even though it shaved well this time for me, but I'll occasionally use one just for kicks.

TommyCarioca they always seemed to be popular blades to me and I never understood why because they were never good to me the first like three times I tried them. Again, my most recent attempt with them was surprisingly good, but it's still likely will not be a go to blade for me or one that I reach for frequently.

All this hate for one of my favorite blades...

Most blades have fallen out of favor for me since I discovered the greatness of Wizamets though.

How are the new Astra SP?  I liked the old ones just fine.

Since I picked up a couple of tucks of Wizamets, they have catapulted to the top of my list as well. They are an excellent combination of sharpness and smoothness, and have worked well in the razors I have tried them with from the mild to the wild!

You know what I don't think I've tried one yet. My stockpile is the Russian made ones.
