    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    Just for the record, both winners of the 100 packs chose a variety pack so I was able to put my 100 pack of Voskhod back into the Cartel safe. No need for a teary farewell now.

    I really don't know much about Russian blades, well ok, nothing really, but I was wondering if I can get a little help on the order of these blades from mildest to more aggressive. That's the order that I'd like to try out these blades in different razors and see how they compare, thx. MAYhem PIF.jpg

    I've only tried 3 of them so far, for me the Sputnik and Platinum Lux were excellent, super sharp and smooth. the Super Stainless Chrome (Red and Blue pack) were meh. they gave a good shave but not as sharp as the others. Ill be shaving the the Rubie tomorrow

    Mild to aggressive. Hmmmm. I can tell you that the Voskhod is sharpest in my opinion, and Rubie is the worst. I'll list them in my order of preference, from best to worst:

    1. Voskhod
    2. Rapira Super Stainless (pink/blue/black)
    3. Ladas
    4. Platinum Lux
    5. Sputnik
    6. Rapira Chrome (super stainless red and blue)
    7. Swedish Supersteel
    8. Rubie

    Now, the difference between some of those is very slight. And, some will no doubt argue that the Swede is much better than I ranked. That's the wonderful part....it ultimately is subjective. But, there's my ranking if that helps.

    My point exactly. LOL YMMV. Except for Rubie. If you ever get the chance to try it, well, it's your face. And again...I've been told that Rubie is far superior by others who like it.

    Guess what arrived today? I'm going to have lots of fun with these. What to try first? Thanks Neal!

    I think I'll try them in reverse order using Neal's list. Rubie is up first.

    Wow! That looks just like a bunch of blades I had on my desk two days ago. What are the chances?!?! ;)

    Reverse order eh. Rubie first? Good luck with that! But, if we're not too far off in preferences that means the shaves will only get better from there!

    Enjoy! Even the shipping on these turned out kind of fun, but it doesn't take much to entertain me. Mailed both sets together on Monday and they arrived within 30 minutes of each other......on opposite coasts that is, so really a two hour difference. Yeah, I told you it doesn't take much to enterta.........SQUIRREL!!!!!

    I hear a rumor about Rubie blades. They may be the culls? Random blades that didn't pass factory inspection or some such unfounded craziness. I'm glad y'all are starting with them so I can gain wisdom through your suffering rather than my experience.
