Do you recall how many shaves you got out of it? I typically get about 10 head and face shaves out of the Russian Astra SP before I decide to throw it out. Most of them are still giving good shaves when I throw them out at ten.I've used one Indian Astra so far, and it seemed to have the same legs as its Russian cousin. However, I didn't push it hard and binned it after a week. It was still going strong on its last shave. I just wanted to try a different blade.
