I don't believe it's allowed to post links to eBay here, but unuta77 is selling a sampler with the Russians.
Thanks I'll check it out. I figured if he has a small pack I can give it a whirl, though with prices that low it's not bad.
Same here, I don't have the problems you do with the Lux, but the Swedes have given me some tremendous shaves. Great blade. The Lux is a pretty good blade for me, but if they cost the same I am always going with the Swedes.
Guys who are using SS and Lux any feedback as how it feels compared to Gillette 7 o clock black or Astra SP? Thanks
I consider the Lux and 7 O'Clock Black similar blades: both among the sharpest I've used, but not smooth or forgiving for my face. If you like the black ninjas, I bet you'd like the Lux, too. Re: Astra SP, been too long since I've used them to usefully compare.
My Rapira Swedish (220 for $16 and change shipped) showed up today. Ordered them on 12/20, delivery estimate was between 1/5 and 1/20 so I am very satisfied.
You people, gah! Everything was going along just fine. I read this thread, and bam! 100 rapira stainless chrome, 100 rapira swedes, 100 Voskhod, 50 Ladas and 100 Supermax Super Platinum...Supermax isn't even Russian! I'm going to let you people explain all this to my wife.
Aaaaaand I just bought blades too. 100 voskhod (love these blades) 100 rapira Swedish (great reviews)
