For those who use a DE safety razor, what's your preferred choice of blade?
Poorly regarded by many, I'm having great results with Derby Extras. They give me a very close, comfortable and smooth shave every time with 2 passes plus touch up. My current go to blade.
I've also used Feathers, mostly because I was intrigued by their fearsome reputation. If I'd heeded the hype I'd have considered myself lucky to have both ears and my head still firmly attached to my neck. Turned out to have little difference to the Derbys, but just a fair bit sharper (IMO). No nicks or weepers, just another very close shave. I achieve a great shave quicker with these than I do the Derbys.
