What is your all time worst blade?

The Merkur branded blades that came with my VDH set.

So far, for me...GSB.

I know, I know...maybe it’s just me...

Astra SPs

I keep trying them every year or so, and I just don't get along with them no matter what razor the blade is in. I have seven more blades, so maybe in the next 7 years I will learn how to use them!!

In seriousness, the YMMV thingy is interesting to see play out here. I would bet that many blades are both personal faves for some and absolute worst for others. I am thankful we have so many choice and that I can find a half dozen or so that I could gladly use for the rest of my life! If my only option were the supermarket brand, I would probably be back to carts, or on the hunt for a store brand made in Israel, as those did work better than the ones at my grocery store.

Rockwell - 2nd shave with the blade and only time I ever changed blades during shaving. Only took a few strokes in my first pass to realize.

Ironically, same blade 1st use and same razor gave a near BBS shave.

Funny enough it is the Personna Blue. Leaves me with incredible irritation every time. Can’t fogure out why.

It depends on the razor for me. Shark, Kai, or Voskhod blades dont get used very often.

Voskhod is my worst ever. Feather not very good to me neither
