Currently testing Gillette London Bridge and the Czech Tigers. So far the Tigers seem ok and the London Bridge are near Feather sharp. I need to revisit Rapira Platinum Lux and work through some of the Lords.

Interesting that you make the distinction on use in another razor. 95% of my shaves are with a Tech but with some blades such as Rapira or Persona the Tech shave was terrible, I switched to an old Wilkinson TTO and the shave was excellent.

My two favourites are Feather and Dorco Titan followed by many which are pretty good, just a couple that were very bad, to the point where I stopped shaving part way through.

Just started using these Dorco blades, they are excellent.
I thought they were Japanese, they are made in South Korea.

I'm personally rather an Astra SP fan; I have used Feather blades but in some razors they're too sharp (I don't like the combo Mühle Rocca and Feather blade) - I do use Feathers in my RR Mamba and Rockwell 6C on a "forgiving" plate. I had been given a box of Derby Premium blades too, which I tried in my slant razors, and to good effect. But generally it's a green Astra and a slant - two passes (WTG/ATG) and I'm clean and good to go.

I honestly cannot choose one. When I had a small collection I found that each one shaved better with a different blade, finding the blade for each razor was part of the fun. I still have around a Dozen different blades but I no longer have a collection of razors. I have enough left to see me into the ground.

My two favourites are Feather and Dorco Titan. I keep going back to other blades just to check that my opinion has not changed, for example I have just changed a Voskhod blade, first shave was good, second was ok, third was poor. Derby extra went in, we will see how that goes.

Platinum, 7 o'clock Super platinum, silver blue and perma Sharp are some of my favourites.
Never had a bad shave with Astra super stainless also or any other Gillette blade.
