Second sharpest DE blade?

Hello all

Am new to DE shaving.

My beard hairs are very tough, so using feather blades (yes, started DE shaving on feathers) which are doing a great job.

I want to try out another sharp blade. Feather are renowned for being the sharpest, just wondering what other forum members consider perhaps being on par or second to feathers?

Would really be interested in your replies.

P.S. I have tried Merkur blades with no luck.
 
Feathers are too sharp for me. Sharp but smooth blades I'd go for Polsilver SI or Personna Lab blue. Quite like Rapira stainless as well which are really cheap to buy in bulk but not as sharp as the others for me.
 
I found Feathers too sharp. A step down for me was Gillette 7 o'clock Yellows. These are my daily blade. I love them. Very smooth and very sharp.
 
I've got some Sharks which I tried as part of my quest for the perfect blade. Gillette 7 o'clock yellows are much sharper in my humble opinion. Happy to send out one of each so you can try side by side.
 
These work for me:

Very sharp and smooth - Polsilver Super Iridium, Gillette 7 O'Clock Blacks (India), Personna Lab Blue
A step below that, but still sharp and very smooth - Sputnik, Gillette Silver Blue
