My sample pack from WCS has five blades --- Derby, Crystal, Israeli Red Personna, Astra SP, and Feather.
So far, I tried the Derby (not impressed, although I used them with my first ever DE razor shaves), the Crystal (very nice), and the Israeli Red Personna (my favorite so far.) I'll be trying the Astra SP tomorrow, and will probably save the Feather for a later date. So here's my question ..... How many blades should I try before deciding on which one to choose as my "favorite" ? Should I decide based upon these five in my sample pack, or would I add to the confusion by trying a few more ? if I should try some more, which ones do you recommend for my Merkur 34C ? Thanks a lot.
