What is your favorite lesser-known blade?

[BradWorld]

Sputnik blades are awesome. They are not widely used. But most that use them love them for their sharp and efficient shave. But they are really hard to find now.

I got some Sputnik tucks many years ago when I bought a 100 pack sampler with a bunch of different tucks of non-gillette brands. There were several tucks each of Sputnik, Lana's, and several different Rapiras. The Sputniks were the clear top dog of that bunch, and the only ones I really took a liking to. So I bought another couple hundred back then. Glad I did.

Amazingly good blades.

Going thru blades on a sample pack, some passed the first round that I didn't expect
Personna Platinum,Dorco(red) HQ, Treet Platinum, Derby Premium was a surprise after the Derby Extra (which was not nearly as good as I remembered). Lord Platinum is still in the running.
Gillette Platinum, and Wilkinson Sword are well known.
I suspect the Shark Super Chrome and Feather Platinum may fall on round 2. But since I have an adjustable, I can back them down a little.
