Oh, the Astra SP. Not my favorite, but everyone, myself included, likes it well enough.

I like the Chrome personally
The Derby extra would be my very close second choice. It is very mild, safe chive to recommend. Agree.

Indeed, which is encouraging considering I have a 100 pack I have not yet tried. Couldn't resist the price.
Chart updated to fix the sort. Nacet moved up
As the resident shark blade fanatic, I approve!
My vote goes to Gillette 7 O'clock Green.
When I first got into DE razors I purchased a sampler of blades. After going through a few of them I thought I preferred the Gillette 7 O'clock Greens and Astra SP blades I tried. Since my favorite blades happened to also be very inexpensive, I thought that perhaps I was imagining things. I was new to soaps and razors, and my technique was not too great, so I was sure that my opinion would change with time. But as time went by and I used other brands, I kept preferring the Gillettes and the Astras.
Then I found this interesting post in another forum (see page 9):

It seems, maybe, that newbie me was not imagining things.
I also enjoy Feather blades. The worst I have used are the Rockwell blades that came with my 6s.

Personna Israeli Red (Germany) you can buy them anywhere they are good for 6 great shaves, and they are not expensive.

If I were to recommend from personal experience, I’d say Personna. But reading the “what did you use today?” threads, I think GSBs are the (current) favorite.

My go to safe blade. I really can't say enough about them. Very pleasant.
