The Lord platinum is one of the worst blades I've used. The ones that I tried were all dull and I couldn’t get decent shave with any of them.
Favorite Lord Blade?

Lord Platinum Class for the win!
Shark Platinum and Shark Super Chrome!!!!
Whichever Lord you choose...you have to agree that you can't beat any of them for the money!
Shark SC.
Ive only tried Shark super chrome so far but I have a tuck of lord platinum coming and 100 shark platinums aswell because Im a crazy person and I like the artwork. The super chromes were decent. Not the closest shave ive ever gotten but not bad either.
Shark Platinum's are excellent.
I've got a hundred Lord Rainbows I got for a song ages ago and I use 'em in my travel and grooming kits and they're fine; nice and smooth for me.
They remind me of living in Egypt in the nineties where I use all the Lord and Shark blades I could find at the time with a Lord L5 or L6 which did the job respectfully well.
I didn't have the time to muck about finding decent stones to set bevels and hone my straights at that juncture of my life so they gave me more freedom and flexibility which was grand.

Lord Platinums are one of the best ones for me. A cheap blade that gives me effortless bbs.
The Lord Shark Platinum is my favorite Lord blade.
I did not get along with the other Sharks. I will revisit them again in the future.
Before I ever tried the Silver Star blades, I almost bought a hundred at $7.99 on Amazon. Before I completed that purchase, I found Nacets for $9.99ish (I don’t remember exactly). I am glad that I waited, as I prefer the Nacets to the Silver Star. The Silver Star blade was not that great for me. I shall revisit it again in the future, since it is so well liked.

It's a tie for first place between Silver Star & Shark Platinum , however all of the Shark
Varieties are really good when matched with the correct razor and I have several razors that match up very well with Shark blades.
Silver Star & Shark Platinum work really well
With just about any razor.

Silver Stars are my favourite of the bunch. The Crown blades are excellent as well.
Scary that I own at least 100 of every one of the blades listed in the OP.

About a year ago, I did a shave out on a field of 18 blades. Shark platinum made it to the competition, the SS didn't make the cut.
First round was simple, I shave with the blade once. If I need moisturizer to sooth my face, it's out.
I got rid of 5 blades on that simple test.
Bottom line, I had 2 blades I liked best, the Lord Platinum, and the Personna Platinum.
I only get 3 really good shaves out of the Lord, but since they're $0.09 per blade and the Personna was $0.20 per blade (if I bought in lots of 200 blades) it was a no brainer. I'd have to get at least 7 good shaves out of the Personna to have it break even.

Shark Platinum 
ASCO orange 5ct / red 10ct
SilverStar
I personally like the ASCO best, but I'm not saying they're better. When I was introduced to the SilverStar, I noticed the ASCO orange was $1-2 less per 100. Tried them and liked them a lot. Have 100s of both.

another for the Silver Star .... and for that matter the L6 is a darn good razor
Interesting. This is the only bad review of Lord Plats I’ve ever read.
