Blades Samples

[wacomme]

Since I've been haphazardly trying razors and blades for my first 5 months of DE shaving, I've yet to decide upon my favorite blade(s). I need more samplers to narrow my selection. I also don't have enough current blades to make a blade exchange. So, instead of shopping multiple stores, is there any one place (or two) I can buy samples of the following blades?

Gillette Silver Blue
Gillette 7:00 Black
Gillette 7:00 Yellow
Gillette 7:00 Green (I'd like to try both the Russian and Indian versions)
Voskhod
Polisilver SI
Rapira - not sure which type; I've just read a little about them

maggardrazors.com allows you to make your own sampler packs. Not sure if they have all the ones you listed, but might be a good place to try.

Thank you for posting this, as I've wondered where I can find Voskhod blades. Hearing about how favored they are, I was wondering if anyone would mind comparing them to Gillette Silver Blue or Gillette 7 o'clock Blacks. Are they as smooth or as sharp in your opinion? Thank you, and Happy New Year!
