I use a 'new out of the wrapper' blade. But a blade I am familiar with, and usually not Feather - something a bit more 'middle of the road' - Personna, Astra, Gillette Silver Blue.
I don't often 'move' a blade used in one razor to another (though I know folks do that). Blades are inexpensive, and PTFE coatings wear off.
I will also generally try at least 2 shaves with that combo before moving onto a different brand of blade - but all this is subjective.

I've tried a boatload of different blades in my razors, trying to divine which one is best. They all seem pretty much the same to me. If one is REALLY bad, I can tell, but unless it's a Disaster Blade, I really have no idea. Either I'm too ignorant to tell the difference or my face isn't sensitive enough to distinguish between them. Mostly I try different blades so I can join in the discussion with you Cool Kids and hope you'll let me sit with you at lunchtime in the cafeteria.

Same here. I also primarily use Astra blades, so that's what goes into any new razor I try.
