I personally prefer Wilkenson-Sword injector blades; however they are as hard to find as a sober judge on election day. So I use Schick, of which there are at least 4 different models out. And none seem to be compatible with the other.
The best damn thing these groups could do is to standardize the blades to the razors and let the public decide which is best.
I know...it ain't gonna happen.
