What is the best cartridge/disposable razor system of all time?

I hope this is considered to be a worthwhile subject area and is of interest.
May I suggest that some or all of the following could be the criteria for selection: Best Shave; Least Irritation; Price; Clogging; Ease of Use; Manouvurability (ie around difficult areas, under the nose etc): Longevity of the System; Longevity of the Shaves; Impact on the Environment; Number of Blades.
Perhaps some sort of result may be able to be assessed at some point.

After years of switching between various cartridges, DEs and SEs, I find the Mach 3 the best for me in terms of overall performance, close behind is the Sensor. Both have two drawbacks though: blade life (I get just seven comfortable and close shaves from a cartridge) and price. I've read very positive reviews of the Feather MR3 Neo cartridge and will try it soon.
 
today my best shave ever again with wilkinson hydro 5 sense. BBS in two passes and touchups. no irritation. best on the market for me

Is that Hydro 5 a razor or a vacuum cleaner?
no.it's still a razor. and it shaves quite well. Is it visually pleasing? Maybe not but who cares? When you pass its blades on your face i think you could care less about the aesthetics of the razor.The razor just hold the blade(s).

I have tried the Wilkinson hydro 5 sense and it does give a good shave and the front grey section can be pulled down to get around the more tricky areas, but it does feel to me that you are shaving with a dinner plate on the tip of your razor, which I suppose you get used to after a time AND I think that they are quite an expensive blade.
I have also tried the Gillette Blue II slalom, not a particularly good shave BUT it's cheap at around £2.00 for eight when on offer in ASDA.
 
Missoni, is this the single blade guard or the Gillette Guard Sensitive; could you provide a link please, I am very interested in this razor.
Kind regards, whitesix
Also, have you had any experience of the Gillette Vector?

...single blade. Search on the bay for Gillette Guard x 100 or whatever quantity you require. There are numerous Indian sellers eg seller pureherbs2015. Further info on the Gillette Guard here: https://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/community/index.php?threads/gillette-guard.44822/
