I've always like Voskhod blades. I lost count of how many tucks I have in my backstock.

I've always like Voskhod blades. I lost count of how many tucks I have in my backstock.

36 tucks of 5 blades here. Almost 2 years of shaves at 4 shaves per blade.

Life is good.

The GSB is much smoother than the Astra SP.

GSB is a favorite of mine.

I never cared for the Astra SP and gave all mine away quite some time ago.

Have a good day, sir.

I have always thought the Astra SP was a tad rough. The GSB seems like a good pairing with the pre-war tech.

That's been my experience as well.
