Last night's SOTD was a test between a Derby Premium and a Rapira Swedish Supersteel blade in the Rocnel Elite.
The Rapira provided a noticeably smoother shave and I'm stoked that this razor will accept blades from the Rapira and Voskhod line as well as Feathers.
So far, I've found that this razor will accept Feathers, Voskhod, Rapira, Derby, Shark and Asco Blades.
It won't accept a host of other blades (including all Gillette P&G blades, Lord, Big Ben, Personna, Supermax, Trig etc) won't fit due to the tolerances used on the centre post.
It was designed around a Feather and it shows that even from the same manufacturer (such as Lord for example, not all blade tolerances are equal).
It's certainly helped clear up the question as to whether Lord Classic, Sharks, Asco's and Big Ben's are identical blades. They're clearly not otherwise they would all fit.
The same can be said about Shark and Lord Chrome blades (as the Shark's fit whilst the Lord's don't). [emoji846]
