I'm going to have to say Astras (green packaging), I find them as sharp as a butter knife...

I have a sample pack of the blue Astras, so I'll give these a spin in the next week.

Worst blades for me are Voskhod and Rapira.

Some people like them, but for me they turned out to be so dull.
I tried them in razors of different aggressiveness, in adjustable razors, but these blades don't shave me at all.

I find them to be pretty decent. Not my favorite nor anywhere near the worse I have tried. I recently tried it in my Ikon Tech and it did just fine.

For me Derby Extras ... When I first got into wet shaving they were my first blades, I wanted to like them because they were so cheap....it felt like the hairs were being pulled out of my skin . I recently tried one again thinking that now my technique had improved, mabye they weren't so far...changed it after the first pass.. recentky PIF my remaining packages.

Astra Superior Platinum. Just don't work for me, no matter which razor I put them into.

I had the same experience with these blades. I know many people love them, actually they were recommended to me when i started DE shaving and i used them exclusively for some time, always wondering what i did wrong, why my shaves were so bad, it turned out, it wasn't me nor the razor but the blades. I tried them again recently to confirm my findings, the result, some nicks and a rash. No more Astra SP for me!

Just used today as part of a challenge and hands down Graham Field Med Prep blades. No cuts or weepers but felt more like it was tugging hair out rather then cutting. Smoother by the end of the shave and will see how it goes tomorrow............................for science of course....
