    Voskhods were one of my favorites. They were sharp enough, long lasting enough, inexpensive enough, smooth enough, and worked in everything I put them in. Just nothing to complain about with these.

    I don’t know? If I don’t care for them, I’ll probably give them away to members here.

    I purchased 100 Feather DE Blades. They are my current favorites but what I find super annoying is removing the wrapper. I've learned to take care though as I sliced my finger once while removing the wrapper.

    Blood is just part of the learning curve.

    Everybody's different ..... some love them, but they're not for me. I like Nacets, GSB, Permasharps, 7 O'clocks, Polsilvers, and Super-Max.

    A33137DA-BB38-413F-9956-F32818A9AE99.jpeg Just got some more of (one) of my favorite blades!!! The Personna isreali reds, platinum crome. They moved the factory to Germany and all the ones you will buy from now on will be from Germany they are the same exact blade so don’t worry guys

    I just bought a couple hundred Feathers (on sale). Have rarely used them in the past but thought I'd give them a good test in some of my mild razors. Honestly I'm pretty underwhelmed thus far.

    Just ordered a hundred Zorrik Super Platinum. I've never tried them and heard good things. Why ...... well I recently moved and haven't found my cigar box of blades ....... yeah that's what I'll tell my wife.

    With the grain I find very little separation between Feathers and the others I've tried. Where they shine is shaving against the grain. They give me my closest shave. This morning I used a Personna Blue and I can still feel a bit of stubble on the side of my head.

    Yeah I'm not finding a meaningful difference thus far.

    Given that the price point much more than the others they really need to have an obvious difference which is why I'm searching for a cheaper alternative.

    7 O'clock 100 and Minora 100. All of my blades are sharp.. I suppose I reach for Feather or 'blue box' Platinum more generally than all others. All are sharp.:cool:

    Awhile back I got a 100 pack of Supermax Platinum Plus. I really enjoy them.

    I sometimes forget that I bought them and in the mean time I purchase more just to be sure. :)

    Last week I ordered Gillette Platinum 100 and Nacet 100. Both are outstanding blades.
