Derby.

7 A.M. Hi Platinum Durablade. One pass and I got rid of the entire box.

Dorco, and Walmart (German) Wilkinson.
My face said STOP as soon as I tried my first pass with both these blades!

+1 for the Dollar General 5-pack, I got em just for fun as well.... they weren't

7AM

Dorco 300 (301 is generally pretty nice for me)

Astra SP

I wasn't a fan of the Sharps I initially tried, but I used a couple after more practice and they're not as horrid as I originally thought. Faint praise, no doubt.

You mean these?:

Vidyut Super-Max Super Stainless

I tried them as part of a sample pack, worst blade so far! They were so bad, I decided to write a review on them:

That review makes me wanting the package of these blades!

Actually, some blades "are" so bad that I don't even bother to try them...

Blue Birds are horrid. Dull as a butter knife.

+1, bought some, used two, not touched them since.

WalMart Wilkinsons and Sharks are the worst I've tried.

Derby. I'm better off using a butter knife..

Astra SP... Used to work well for me... Now they are just terrible... Along with of course Derby.

The worst I've tried were Merkurs, Derby and Dorko's

Sharks are just terrible for me. Can't understand when they get a positive comment. Maybe I got a bad batch -- they are noticeably dull.

Derby's just don't work for me.
I have a hard time bringing myself to do a second pass with them to remove all of the hair that they didn't manage to pull out on the first pass.

Bic DE blades. Horrible.

I fought through the majority of one WTG pass and had to ditch the blade mid-shave.

A lot of the blades listed so far have fans that use them daily. I've never read a post that mentioned how great Bic blades are. I truly believe they are in a class of their own.

Of the blades I have used, derby is the blade I regard the least. They're not allowed in my house.

I'm trying sharks right now for the last month which are the stainless and chrome.

The stainless are a little better but over all not a great blade their still not the worst though.

Shark has been horrible for me when using my shavett and I have to do two passes for the same place because it fails to cut on the first pass and it also pulls my hair irritating my skin a bit although way better than when I was using the Mach RAZR Maxx. I order the bundle of the Feather and the other blades and I can't wait to see how they work. Ultimately what I want is a Dovo Straight Razor to avoid all this different blades although I want to find out which blades work for my Shavett so when I have to travel I can take it with me since the airlines don't allow straight razors on their planes.

Sharks (chrome) actually place on my "pantheon of great blades", along with Derbys, Sputniks, and Gillette Silver Blues. Worst blade I've used bar none are Dorco's though, It's as if they exist just to mangle my face.
