    Thanks to THE MAN, I am only using Voskhods. The Sputniks, Rapiras and Astras are close. I want to try the Personnas and Polsilvers and will soon....just because I can.

    Rapira blades
    I have been trying different blades to try and find something better but for some reason my face likes them.
    Only downside to me is that they do not last very long.

    Currently loaded up:

    Ranger Tech = Silver Star
    Clix = early '60s Gillette Stainless, used for cleanup after the same blade took off a week's worth of beard in a no-name plastic open comb.

    Voskod's have been my favorite so far, but this morning I used a Wilkinson from Wally World and got a pretty nice shave. Decent shave and locally available? Hmmmm....
