Has anyone ever heard of a russian DE blade called Voskhod? If so, how do they shave? I found a random store that has several wrapped packages of them for a decent price.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It seems they come from a Moscow based company "OJS Mostocochlegmash" which in Soviet times used to make motorbykes, large hydroplanes and spaceships.
Ok, so here is todays report on the blade. Todays setup was:
Gillete black super adjustable razor
Col Conk Badger brush
VDH soap
and the Voskhad blade
This blade is really good. I got a nice bbs shave after 3 passes. I have not tried feathers or other high end blades yet. I am still going through the 10.00 sample pack of blades of westcoastshaving. I am going to retry these blades after I finish the sample pack. That might take a while since I normally use a straight razor. So far this is the best blade I have used. I am going to pick some up from the lady.
