Rapira Platinum lux loox very similar in packaging to the gillette rubie, I have tried Rapira suoersteel and don't think much to itYou should at least try Rapira Platinum Lux. Better than Voskhod.
Sharpest for me would be Nacet, GSB and Gillette 7 O'clock Sharpedge "Yellows"
...He (Meyer J. "Mike" Shnitzler, Vice President & Director of R&D at Gillette from 1933 till 1967 and for 10 years thereafter as a consultant) determined blade sharpness could not readily be detected by the shaver and sharper blades did not alleviate the pain and irritation from poor prep. It turns out that, according to Mr. Shnitzler, the improperly moistened whisker is harder to cut and the hair itself will adhere to the steel, as it is being cut, causing the hair follicle to be pulled with the consequent pain/tugging feeling. A chemical engineer by training at MIT prior to coming to Gillette, Mr Shnitzler's solution to the problem was an organic silicon coating to the steel so that the protein in the hair would not adhere to the steel; yielding a better cutting action with less pulling at the follicle. The Super Blue was born (1959)...
Remember, blade are not "aggressive" per se as Gillette discovered decades ago that humans cannot distinguish.

I highly recommend this valuable source as it answers questions that many have concluded wrongfully then & today about cutting whiskers. Blade coatings & sputtering are everything and sharpness not so much.
