Bic Chrome Platinum. I've tried a large variety of blades, but have yet to find one that matches their combination of sharpness, smoothness, and durability. Not sure why they're not talked about much in these parts.
Best "Sleeper" Blade

Very good blades (even though not in my top 5). Great price! These are $22 for 50 at WCS.
Where do you even buy these? I've never heard of them and couldn't find them for sale anywhere online.
I bought 40 blades or so from one seller on Ebay a few months ago. They are no longer listed. Great blades. Have not seen them anywhere else.
My favorite blades are the India Wilkinson Swords in the "Saloon Pack". Based on this thread (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/464039-Wilkonson-Swords) they are made in the Bhiwadi India Plant. They are the best blade I've tried in the Fine Slant and seem to last forever.
why would it be called Filo America if it's Made in Korea? shouldn't it be called Filo Korea ?? just thinking.....
Well they are "sleepers" to me. I'm unsure of how much love they get but
Rapira Platinum Lux
Rapira Platinum Lux
Yup, I just got a sample from the bay shipped from India. I was surprised how well they shave and are another good India blade along with the Gillette permasharp
I've really come to like the newer Rapira Super Stainless
They are indeed very nice blades
After trying it today for the first time, my pick is the orange Asco Super Stainless. It gave me my most comfortable shave to date. It felt a lot like a Voskhod and I think that they have the same coating. Apparently all blades meant for shaving have a Teflon coating and the "Teflon coated" print on the Voskhods is just a marketing gimmick, but there definitely is something special about the orange Ascos and the Voskhods.
Bolzano Superinox? Anyone? A great blade. Smooth, sharp and durable. A little on the pricey side, $32 for 100, but an excellent blade. Not a single word or mention anywhere. I'm surprised no one has tried these blades.
Gillette Super Thins. Thai or Vietnamese ( i believe both are made in Shanghai and just have different packaging). Love em and bought a 144 pack.
You need to get out more Gus.(For one example) check out "The Intercontinental All Italian Shave-Off" thread.
Gillette Rubie Platinum Plus
Point taken....
