Your Top 3 DE Blades ?

1. Gillette Nacet Stainless (this has recently moved to the top of my list)

Actually those Indian Gillette/Wilkinson saloon blades aren't bad at all. Especially as the batch I bought cost £4.99 for 100 including delivery :)
 
1. Gillette Silver Blue
2. Voshkod
3. Personna Med Prep / Super

However, just to complicate matters, some blades work well in some razors but not in others. Sputniks are fine in a Merkur Progress but not in any other DE I've tried. Silver Blues are a bit much in a R41, but Permasharps are great in that razor but lacking in my Weber.

It's all VERY personal and you'll only know but your own trial and error. I actually keep a couple of blades I don't like and try them in new razors: Kai and Feathers are great in a 37c but hateful in all the other razor I've used them in ...
 
Well I am a newbie and so far of the ones I have tried
1. Rapira SS
2. Voskhod
3. Ladas
To be honest tho I haven't found anything that was bad. Pol Silver was my first shave and it was a bloodbath but that was down to me not knowing how to shave. Even Derby seemed ok to tho they only lasted 1 or 2 shaves.
 
A rough and ready count of the scores on the doors (3 points for a 1st pick, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd)

Gillette Silver Blue - 25pts
Polsilver SI - 24pts
Voskhod - 17pts
Personna Lab/Med Prep - 14pts
Feather Hi-Stainless - 13pts
Rapira Swedish Super Steel - 12pts

Please just treat this as an indicator as it is not entirely scientific. I made a couple of assumptions:
Personna labs and Meds are the same
Where more than one option given I have just used the first written down and ignored 4th, 5th etc
