Any Wet-Shavers Out There?

I started a tube of Proraso sandalwood shaving cream, seems to be an upgrade for me. I'm getting used to the Feather blades, but wouldn't mind finding another blade with similar sharpness that will allow me to get more like 4 shaves per blade instead of the 2 that seem to work best with the Feathers. I went back to a Merkur blade and immediately cut myself, so those are staying out of the mix. They just grab my skin for some reason.

Does anyone care to recommend some blades ?

So far, I've used Merkur (meh), SHark SS (better) and Gillette Wilkerson Swords. THose have been the best. I still have quite a few left in my sample pack (Astras, Crystals, & AM's, Shark SC's, among others.) I am finishing an entire box of blades (5-10) before trying another blade.
