Tried these blades today for the first time and I have to say I like them. Put them in my IKON slant and it was smooth sailing. Zero irritation. They won't replace my beloved feathers, but I will order more of these blades.

The Russian made green wrapped 7 o'clock are a nice blade.
Try to find some of the black wrapped super plats from India if you want a real treat.

I like them too.
I've not tried the green pack but I love the yellow. The silver blue are good as well.
The Russian greens (Super Stainless) are hands down my favorite blade. Glad you enjoyed them!
They are an under appreciated blade. I have gotten excellent shaves with them.
I do prefer the Russians:
Yellows
Greens
Then Indian Blacks. I don't care much for the Indian Greens

I just finished another series of 4 shaves with the Russian Gillette 7 O’Clock Green Super Stainless blade. All four shaves were excellent: smooth, close, and nick free. I think the poor Russian Greenie is a much under appreciated blade. They tend to take a back seat head to head with the Russian Yellows and Indian Green Permasharps and Indian Blacks. They cost a few pennies more than the Yellows, about the same as the Indian Greens, and less than the Blacks . Still, at about $20/100 shipped, they are a very good blade. I keep some on hand...I enjoy a little variety as long as the quality is there.
As always……YMMV.

I agree, I really liked the green ones. I now have some of the Black ones to try out b
They are still number one so far in my blade sampler trial. Still have a way to go though.
The Russian greens are one of my favourites - super smooth, perfect sharpness.
I just ordered some blacks, anxious to try them. I am a feather man now but heard the blacks are also good.
I just received a pack of these in a PIF.
I'm doing a new thing for March, not only am I only shaving with OCs but I'm "3017"ing packs of Razors. It's a little early but I started with a pack of Voskhod and next will be the Gillette 7'oclocks (Russia)

I wish they would still make the blues 
Shaved with one this morning in my Merkur 38 HD. Excellent blade for me.
Completed the Feb challenge w/ my first use of the 7 O'clock SS. Very content with the blade's performance.
If I stretched every blade that long: my 100-pack will last almost a decade...
