I buy the CVS3 blades at the CVS store. Four triple blades for $5.49 and they give a great shave.

Sensor Excel double blades :)

Ditto. I do sometimes use the Atra Doubles though.

I've used the Sensor Excel blades with mine sine I started, though lately I've been rotating them with the HB Triples that I got for free a couple months ago.  The HB's are fine, but I've found that the Excels work a little better on my head.

I've used the Sensor doubles and they always worked fine. HB used to make a double, too, and I thought it shaved like crap but the HB Triples.....now that's another story. I love those more than anything head shaving related. In addition I get more time on the HB Trips than I do with the Sensors treating them the same.

I normally use the Headblade Doubles and am quiet happy.  However I just bought some Personna blades which I have heard people say good things about, and they are cheaper. Last would allow to shorten the use of the blades. I used my last blade for a little over three weeks, that was about 12 or 13 shaves. I don't want to do that anymore as the shave quality decreases rapidly.
I'll let you know how the Personna work for me and will also try the Sensor Excel
I have heard about the Vectra which seems to be equal to the Atra but marketed under that name in Asia.

Sensor Excel!!! By far the best blades for the HB.
Tis better to have a bald head than no head at all.
