Best blade for coarse hair

Hi Gents I would like some advice, I have extremely coarse hair and some blades really don't work for me as they just don't cut through my hair. My current favourite blade that I use most of the time is feather. Was just wondering is there any other good sharp blades but maybe that are abit smoother that a feather?

Feather is a sharpie for sure.  You may wish to try Perma Sharp from Russia. PolSilver Super Iridium (I hear guys are finding this one hard to find).  My go-to sharp is Personna Comfort Coated made in USA.  Nacet is another very sharp blade.

Have you tried wizamets?

Also keep in mind the milder the razor the more sharp of a blade you will need in your case. More aggressive you can get away with less sharp blades than in a mild razor. I have coarse hair and I personally use Bic Chrome Platinum blades. They are sharp, not as sharp as Feathers or Kai blades but the difference is they hold an edge until they don't. There is no gradual wear unlike a Feather blade, just a consistent shave from one to the next until they are done.

Feather is now my most used blade, but Perma Sharp Super in the gold pack is my second favorite at this point.
  You might give the Perma Sharp a try if you've not used them, of course YMMV.
   I'll follow and hope you do some reviews as you test.
Edit: My hair is tough to cut also so the milder blades and razors just aren't that effective.

you might want to look into the GEM SE blades as they're thicker and don't flex as much.

I also have coarse hair and find that as long as a blade is held rigidly, I'm usually fine with DE blades. I like the henson DE, blackland blackbird and the blackland dart a lot...

The sharpness of the blade has little effect on what people sense as "tugging" which is caused when the cut hairs stick to the blade while being cut. That's why all stainless DE blades are PTFE coated to help prevent this. Hence, the smoothness/sharpness are as one. Two things that vastly improve any shave are to thoroughly wash your face for at least three minutes before shaving with a quality facial cleanser and not just plain water or a bar of bath soap. The second thing is a good shaving soap or cream. Prep, prep & more prep.

- Personna med prep or lab blue
- Bic/Astor (made in Greece, home of the thick, coarse beard)

I actually find bic to be marginally sharper than feather blades.

Washing my face prior to shaving has been a game changer for me. I imagine it may be so effective because any oil residue is removed from the hair. This allows water to penetrate the follicles and causes them to soften. Whatever the reason, it works for me.

Due to this thread today I used one of the lowest tier blades extant currently, the lowly Wilkinson Sword Economie blade. It's so cheap that there is even no printing on the blade!! Loaded it in a post-war Tech and used A&E Frozen Mojitos soap after a hot shower and washing my face with L'Oreal Ideal Clean Foaming Gel Cleanser. DFS, two passes. Prep & a good shaving soap/cream are the keys to the kingdom moreso than the blade used per my experiences. That's not to say that a top tier blade is not important, just that it cannot reach its full potential until the road is "paved".
