I've used quite a few Russian blades and like vast majority of them.

Sputnik, Vokshod, Ladas, Rapira, Rapira Platinum Luxe, Rapira Swedish Supersteel, Permasharp Super, Gillette Silver Blue, Gillette Platinum, Nacet, Polsilver Super Iridium, Astra SP, and Gillette 7 O'Clock Blue, Green, and Yellows. There may be a few more that I can't recall at the moment.

Gillette Silver Blue are my favorites with Permasharp Super blades in second. The Rapira Swedish Supersteel worked plenty well that I bought a bunch in bulk when I found them for a just over $5 per 100. Lots of good threads on Russian blades.

I’ve only used
voskhod, Rapira lux, 7’oclock yellow, Astra SP
Recently used Astra SP, may be my new favorite but need a few more shaves.
I recently shaved with Astra in a red tip. WoW!!!! Almost straight razor close!!! Very very minimal irritation.
I find the Rapira lux to be slightly sharper than voskhod, I find the voskhod to be a very comfortable shave and will continue to stay in rotation.
The 7’0clock yellows, less than five blades used I have a partial tuck left I need to re-visit, but they tend to be more expen$ive. Most lilely will not be regular rotation.

My favorite is the Polsilver, also GSB and Voskhod. Permasharp is not bad but won’t be buying again.

anyone try the gillette rubie? i hear about them on occasion, they also seem difficult to find (reasonably priced)

To bad I don't drink Vodka, but perhaps a Russian beer is in order this weekend.

never had a russian beer
vodka.... well that is different story

I usually go with Gillette Silver Blue!

My favorites are GSBs too.

Maybe not quite as sharp as Feathers but very, very smooth.

gsb and nacet are my go to but the spoilers have taken the front seat at present ..

What “spoiler” are you referring to?

gillette super stainless..spoiler was the name stamped on some dispensers and /or packaging..

Aren’t those vintage US made? And pricey $$$ for blades?

I thought you were referring to a Russian blade as a “spoiler”

yes they are u.s. made and yes they are pricey.. have been using them on a focus the last month or so instead of my favorite russian gillettes..just used a gsb tonight, great blade...

Voskhod and GSB

I think the best Russian blades are Sputnik and Nacet. These two have a combination of sharpness and smoothness not found in any of the other Russian blades I have tried.

There are a lot of blades mentioned here that I didn't know were made in Russia. That said, of all of them, my two favorites are Gillette Silver Blues and Voskhods.

Anybody have or try the Gillette red stainless.... they look to be a rare find.
