3 out of the 4 you listed I use on a regular basis. However, GSBs seem to never let me down in ANY razor. I feel like I can count on them for consistent performance more than any other blade.
Polsilvers come in at a very close second, and I predict this will be the blade that gets the highest votes

All are very nice blades.
Voskhod - occasionally has uniformity issues and are a tad less smooth.
GSB - great blade that suddenly goes dull without notice, even in the middle of the shave.
Polsilver and Perma-Sharp are very similar blades IMO.
I am happy to shave with any of those 4.

I've tried 3 of the 4 brands (not yet for Voskhods). My vote and preference is for the GSBs by a long shot. I use them in all my 3 piece razors. The wax tends to attract lather and whisker debris which then gums up the mechanism on my Red Tips, making for a most unpleasant experience.

Polsilver, hands down.
Been shaving exclusively with Polsilvers for a few months and then decided to go with #2, a GSB just for a change. Horrible razor burn. Dunno if my skin had gotten used to the superior Polsilver's inherent smoothness or that perhaps my technique needed to change with the blade, but I tossed the GSB after 2 shaves and am back with the Polsilvers. Was actually disapointed the GSB performed so poorly... so much so I ordered 200 more Polsilvers to add to my [growing] stash.
