No, the Derby is no sharp Feather, Super Iridium, Gillette yellow or Polsilver. Then again the Derby can do the job, as well. I have discovered that one can run into a bad blade in almost any blade made. I have experienced that even with the great Feather. Here I blame quality control, and the Derby seems to have a problem with that, sometimes more than the others do.
