I just bought a blade pack of 100 blades that contains four each of Voshkhod, two flavors of Rapira, Ladas, and Sputnik blades of ebay for around ten bucks shipped. I use Voskhod already but keep hearing good things about Ladas so it is worth paying so little to try them. I have so many razors to go through that having a good selection of alternate blades is high on my list of personal thirty day challenge scenarios. as always, YMMV
Of the currently available Russian blades, my favorite is the Permasharp super, then the Gillette Silver Blue, and the Rapira Swedish supersteel in 3rd.
Gents. Please keep this thread friendly! We all know blades are a personal choice. YMMV. Respect your fellow members choice of blade. Thank you Kerry
