I am in the process of figuring out which one razor I want to stick with and which one blade I will to pair it with. I'm not asking for suggestions or feedback on blade and razor choices or anything like that. What I am curious about is this:
What DE blades are still currently being made and which are NOS and not marked as such?
For example: I recently tried a voskhod blade and really enjoyed it, it was as efficient as the Astra SP I typically use yet I found it much smoother. I'd have no probablem switching if it keeps up like that. So as I do research about the blades I keep finding mention of these blades being discontinued back in 2016 when the company was bought out.
I'm not trying to make this specifically about voskhod and I know there are rumors of blade going away all the time. I simply don't want to settle on a blade then find out it's not available.
In terms of big names I would think Astra, US personna, Israeli personna, Bic, merkur, derby, and anything with the Gillette name won't be going anywhere soon but that's just an assumption.
