Struth, @thisISjoel..... you have some awfully obscure blades there! I guess that's the result of buying sample packs!

Yeah? I don't really know where all of them came from, some were from try a blade, some I got from @Nav as sort of a trade that started out as a PIF (if I remember correctly?), one came with my Fatboy, I think that's about it.
Fair enough, the green and yellow one came with the Fatboy I'm pretty sure, which also came with Gillette blues, which I did try, that were very dull. I'll abide by the popular vote though.Hmmmmmmm........... yeah. there's one or two there I'm not all that sure I would try if I were you!

They look really cool. I was actually more disappointed that they shaved so poorly because they look so sweet.Yes Mate! I have never understood all the positive feedback for Gillette Blues! They sure don't float my boat!

Yeah... spot on! I reckon one of the first things nooby blade gatherers have to learn is that it's good fun to collect 'em all... but not necessarily much fun to actually shave with 'em all! BTW... if you ever use the Sputnik in any razor, I'd be interested in how it went! Lately I'm becoming rather interested in all Russian blades!
I'm going to vote for the Astra SP too, a nice blade although there's a lot of blades I've never tried there.
Interesting collection from all parts of the world.
Since you are using a modern engineered and machined razor I'd choose a modern blade.
Safe bets are modern personn, astra sp and the yellow shark.
Or go ATG with the unmarked one for the hell of it.
Personally use the modern Wilkinson sword in vintage razors as they flex less and know they are sharp without corrosion due to time/storage.
So my vote is Astra SP as that is a great gauge for the rest of us not vintage blade whores (salvo fired!)
Noted. The astra is winning so far. The completely blank one is a kai.
I've used kais a couple of times before, they're a good blade, but pretty exy.Not that I have any, or have ever tried one, but the Kai could be interesting.... AFTER the Astra SP!
