I have a question that is related to the tried-and-true "list your favorite blade" but with a slight twist. Instead of listing your personal favorite blade, the one that works best for you, instead list the blade you believe is most likely to appeal to the broadest section of wet shavers. In other words, if you had to recommend a single blade to 100 people with the goal of maximizing the number who found that blade to be good (not necessarily great), what blade would you recommend?
Mass Appeal DE blade

Astra SP.
Wizamet Super Iridium
Personna Israeli (or German) Reds.
Seconded.
EclipseRedRing
I smell like a Christmas pudding
Lord Platinum.
I'll go with Astra SS. I find that people who like the SPs tend to like the SS just fine but many people (counting myself) who enjoy the SS have horrible shaves with the SP.
Gillette Platinum.

Since the question has some traction, I will attempt to keep a running count summary.
| Blade | Count |
| Astra SP | 2 |
| Wizamet Super Iridium | 1 |
| Personna Reds (Israeli or German) | 1 |
| Lord Platinum | 1 |
| Astra SS | 1 |
| Gillette Platinum | 1 |
Another vote for Personna Platinums (red/gold/Israelis/Germans) for general use and Astra SS as personal preference over Astra SP.

Checking to see if image copy/paste presents better than table copy

If you had to pick one to recommend, which would it be?
Wizamet SI
Rapira lux. Still feels very wrong not to recommend one of the Shark blades...
