Voskhod blade, what razor

I like Voskhods. They were the first decent blade I found and settled on early on in my shaving journey. I still like them but found I prefer Gillette Silver Blues better. But my son likes the Voskhods. I found they work well in any of my razors. Most are two or three piece razors.
I've got an extensive accumulation of Techs, but ended up with a long-handle WeiShi on sale, anyway. The Weishi was nice looking, but too mild with an Astra SP. Eventually I tried Voskhods and BiCs in it & it does a respectable job.
I like these as they are comfortable and last 3 shaves.They work in all my razors very well.The price fluctuates a bit but I buy them from 7.99-12.99.

Voskhods have felt rough in my Tech and Slim set on 3. Tried in my Rockwell 6c on plate 3 last night and I am done with them. Luckily only bought a tuck of 5 of the little devils.
Rex Envoy and RazoRock GC .68P
My MJ09A and Red Tip both pair well with it, but recently switched to Gillette silver blue and lovin it too.
I have had excellent results in all my vintage razors: Old Type, New SC & LC, Good Will, Milord, 40's and subsequent varieties of Super Speed, Slim and Super Adjustables, and of course, all my Techs (and Tech clones). Only less than outstanding shaves have been with some "modern" design razors - maybe the blades aren't compatible with all the zamack wunders.

I hear Voskhods are a perfect match in a Roedter 1909 razor.
I found they worked best in My Rex Ambassador and Envoy razors..
I found that Voskhod blades work best in other people's razors. Not sure how many people I am echoing. I am very happy for people who have a positive relationship with them, I just am not one of those people.
Voskhod, it seems to me, is one of those many razor blades whose quality has declined precipitously after being purchased by P&G, but whose reputation hasn't.

Even more clueless than you
Use a Voskhod in my Wolfman WR2 it was a very smooth shave.
That is the way they hone some blades at Mostochlegmash. The Rapira Super Stainless has it too. On one side it is a steep angle, on the other shallow. Flip the blade and it will be the opposite. I have been using the Rapira Super Stainless for more than 10 years and it is one of my favourites. No problems whatsoever.
And to answer the original poster's question. With Voskhods you need very agrressive razors. That is, if you have tough whiskers.
I know this is an old thread but yup just had this combo today and it was great!
I like Voshkod's. I used to buy them for around $9/100 on Amazon and have a decent stash of them.
While I like the blades smoothness, I considered them to be sort of a "value menu" version of other smooth blades, such as the GSB's at around $15/100.
Now they are selling at more than twice the price, $18.95 on Amazon.
There are many better shaving blades than Voshkod's at this price.
Like the Gillette Silver Blue, which are under $15/100 on Amazon.
