Anyone Familiar With These Blades?

[Mark1977]

Hi Gents

Is anyone familiar with these blades? They're obviously Russian made blades. Got these from my buddy here in Malaysia who sells shaving products.
Being Russian blades I have rather high expectations as all Russian blades work very well for me.
Lemme know what u think.

Best wishes.

Same logo as Ladas. That’s all I got.

Those do look familiar.... I bet they will be great.

I believe these are from the same company that makes Rapira blades. I'm sure they're good. Will post my review after trying them out.

They are Rapira blades. It's written in Cyrillic on the box and blade

THANK YOU! I wonder what they cost? Of course, just buy Rapira I suppose!

Those look like NOS blades, certainly from before the current 'brand identity', possibly from the USSR (which is technically not Russia).

Nice score.

A p is a actually a r in cyrillic so these are rapira. Not my cup of tea but they are not bad blades.
Definitely blades you should try before binning.

+1! Definitely worth trying!!

And PLEASE let us know how they shave.

It also says on the side “Stainless Steel”. Are these Rapiras current production for the Russian market?

One of the many iterations of the Rapira "Super Stainless" blades

They also follow the same color scheme (Light blue/magenta)

Guys. An update. My friend here in Malaysia who sells shaving supplies, also happens to be the official exclusive distributor for Rapira blades, sent my picture to them and they confirmed that they do not produce such a blade. These are fakes.
The blades were given to me by another seller here who got these as samples from his supplier in Turkey.
Unbelievable!

Some of these counterfeit products sure look real. Thanks for the update.

I have had the blue pink ones on the bottom but there should also be a platinum lux rapira

Don't look fakes to me, probably a NOS tuck left abandoned for years in a drawer of some Turkish warehouse

I was pretty sure these were NOS, I saw some like these on the bay or etsy a while back, and found this: Rapira Russian Ussr Vintage Safety Shave and 50 similar items - https://www.bonanza.com/items/like/220023492/Rapira-Russian-Ussr-Vintage-Safety-Shave-Razor-Spare-Blades-In-Box-Nos-Unused

But then I saw this: 15.28US $ |Rapira Razor Blades, Pack of 100|Razor| - AliExpress - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001400661819.html

☹

Google translate is fun stuff.

I bought some of these Rapira Stainless off Aliexpress from Turkey (they were listed as current production Rapira Stainless for $9 CAD per 100). I think they are NOS because they shave like the current production ones.
