I used a Rapira (Russian) blade that has received a lot of good reviews. Shaved very close.. BBS close, no nicks, no weepers, and not much extra thought into it. I believe I kind of like my Israeli Persona blades just a tab better. Have you every tried one of those? There are so many blades out there for DE and many folks work around and finally find one that feels just right. I've never had a cut, nor a nick, nor a weeper from a DE shave, and I set it kind of aggressive at 7 on most of the razors. The Fatboys I have are wonderful shavers. I'll bet if I PIF ed you a Persona for your DE you'd be surprised and your Genco would wonder what it had come up against.. LOL
