I have just purchased a Star de razor, I have tried it with a Lord Platinum blade but am wondering if the following blades are worth trying.
Ladas
Sputnik
Voskhod
Shark SS and Chrome.
 
I find this quite interesting https://www.refinedshave.com/razor-blade-sharpness-summary/

I would recommend trying out Polsilver and Personna "Lab Blue", from my experience so far these are both excellent. I have some Voskhod and Ladas here but not tried them yet.

The attached should have been proof read by someone! Apparently Feathers get sharper as you use them! By the way, voskhod's are well worth a try.
 
Every other blade gets less sharp after one shave. The Feathers miraculously becomes sharper.

Nope. Other blades get sharper after each shave. Feathers get blunter.

Higher number = less sharp
Lower number = sharper

Coated blades test sharper once the coating has worn off on the initial shave is the theory.

But Feathers are platinum coated, so should also get sharper.
 
Wow I must be extremely lucky because feathers seem to go on forever for me same with Kai's, most other blades do 3 shaves

The top tier modern Gillette blades, e.g., Silver Blue, Platinum, Rubie & 7 O'Clock, can go seven shaves. I have never heard of anyone getting that many from a Feather DE blade.

Silver blue and 7 o'clock last a few shaves for me whereas the feather just keeps going I've had easily ten shaves from a feather, it could be that I use it in the razor it was intended for. To be honest everybody raves about the Kai and they are good but feather just last that bit longer for me
