I have a tried them in various razors and I feel the German versions are better for me.
Your dead right about we are all different, I am so odd, planet Mars gave me a passport ha ha.

Yep, either the German or the vintage English ones, nothing else.

i love this - shows how subjective blade preference is. I like the Brazilian Wilkos more than the German ones.

Nope, I've found what I like, I have more than I'll ever use, I'll never buy another blade.

I know I said a couple shaves ago longer handles are better for head shaving, but I like a challenge
Merkur 41c head on mini Shield handle.
Tbh it felt more comfortable (mostly) to use on the head than neck. I've stuck with trying to use my right hand to do the right side and going across the back of the head didn't feel too secure.
Only the second use of the TOBS rose but it's growing on me. Maybe I will in the (very) far future when my amount of soaps has gone down get a tub

Monday's Cold Water Shave
Cold Water Rinse
WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Badger
Gillette Goodwill Razor
Gillette Silver Blue
Aqua Velva After Shave
This week everything stays the same except the razor. I am using my Gillette Goodwill long comb that was made in England for the French market. For the business end, I am using a Gillette Silver Blue double-edge blade.
The WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Goodwill Razor and a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Just like wives, to one man she's a moaning battle axe but to the man next-door she's a porn star.

That’s fair enough however surely you can’t comment on a new blade you haven’t tried.
Bit you are right. Vintage Wilkos & German are superb

Aleppo soap - Shave pre wash
Cyril Salter - MS Ed2band
Vitos Super Red
Jokmae AC/SE
Schick Proline ( 2 )
Floid Vigoroso A/S Lotion
If one can manage the humongous weight of this Razor ( blade holder), it actually delivers a very close all round finish up there with the best. I cannot get the angles quite right around the tip of the chin, but elsewhere excellent.
