    I just bought a 100 Voskhod Teflon Coated Razor Blades - $18.75
    First Class Flat Rate Shipping: $3.02
    Total for this Order: $21.77

    The Russian Razor is no longer selling them, but they had a message on their site that http://www.razorbladesandmore.com was going to be handling them. I bought them this afternoon and I've already received an email that they've shipped!

    Should be getting a Rooskie shave by the end of the week!

    Can't wait to get a Voskhod.. I've heard great things about them. Just a bit tricky to find, that's all. =/

    I've probably given 10 differnent blades a go. You know what, I'm one of those guys that Derby's just work great for. I have a couple hundred of them, and actually really love them. Feathers are lovely for a now and then, I've got a bit of a beard super-duper ultra close shave, too.

    For some reason, though....I really reallly want to try these. Must....not.....buy.....more.....blades.

    Edit, almost just ordered a 10 pack, but wouldn't gotten nailed for 8.90 shipping. I'll wait for the group buy!!

    Maybe they should show a pic of themselves gargling with Smirnoff!

    I just ordered my 100 pack and I am very excited to get them. I hope they come when my wife is not home because she is already saying she wants them! I said we could share but she said no way!

    Thanks to Etoyoc, who gave me a pack of Voskhods in a PIF!

    I'm on my second blade of that pack now, and I've already ordered 100 more.

    Excellent shave for me, very similar to my favorite Iridiums. I managed to buy a stash of Iridiums sufficient for a couple of years, but I've been looking for a worthy successor. This is it! :D

    Maybe I should have ordered more...what if these become unavailable?? :eek:
     
  11. This site takes payment in Euros? I do not understand much injured '... Thanks!

    Usually use Super Iridiums, but the day is coming when I won't have any left! So I tried the Voskhod. Long lasting, I agree. They shave every time like a Feather does on the first shave; a bit rough. Think I like 7 O'Clock yellows better but they do not last as long.

    I received a pack with my PIF'd Super Speed from Jeff yesterday. I wasn't expecting him to send the Russian blades, so I was excited t o give them a try this morning.

    Well, I can say that I had my smoothest shave yet with the SS and Voskhods blades this morning! My face still feels smooth!:D

    Very smooth with absolutely no blood loss...another first!:cool:

    I too tried the Voshkods from a PIF from both Coyote (backwards) and Jeff.

    Man! Those blades are amazing. It was one of those check to see if a blade is loaded moments. I only got 3 good shave though. The 4th was a bit rough, but overall a superior blade IMO.

    I was only using my Mach 3 Turbo's 3 times maybe 4 before tossing. That's how I found this site, I got tired of the high prices and seemingly lower quality. I don't mind tossing an 18 cent blade after 3 great shaves!:D The Mach 3 blades were running about $2.50-$3.00 each....ouch!

    If I get 3 GREAT shaves out of any of the DE blades, for what I'm paying for them, I'm HAPPY!
