Voskhod Blade

[doctordial]

I used a Voskhod blade today and I got a nice smooth shavewith mone nick. This was my first time using one. I first heard of Feather being the end all blade, but I've used Gillette blacks, less nicks and irritation than the feather, next I tried a Derby that I got maybe 10 shaves out of, and now the Voskhod. I think I may never go back to a Feather.

they are a sharp smooth blade and one that deserves a test drive by anyone looking for a smoother shave

Voskhod is an excellent blade for me. If you do a search you'll find several interesting threads on Voskhod. I've also tried Ladas and Rapira Swedish Supersteel, made by the same factory, but prefer the Voskhod.

It seems to be pretty similar in efficiency with Astra SP is, but it feels a bit less sharp.

Yeah they are a great blade, if you ever need to purchase some they can be found here at a fair price.

was sent a few by a couple people here and tried them for the first time and they worked great. i like them better than the astra sp although they are close for me the voskhod was a better shave. i agree with it being a little less sharp but its was a very nice and smooth shave with no irritation. i already ordered some up from somewhere else.

I like Voskhods a lot and I plan to order more soon.

I find their sharpness to be right between Red Personnas and Feathers.

Not insanely sharp, but just sharp enough...to my liking at least.

I haven't tried the Voskhods yet but plan to, I have heard good things about them. I like sharper blades so I can appreciate Feathers in that regard but way too many nearly as sharp blades out there that are overall better performers in my opinion.

I too heard good things about them, so I got 2 samples.

I tried it shaving some of my chest hair off (women love it), and found it not to be as sharp as some of my other blades.
However, I have another one and will give it a try on my face and see how that goes.

Voskhods are one of the best deals out there for a higher quality blade. I got 200 of 'em for $20 bucks shipped from That Other Place when they had a group buying deal. I've also found that Ladas (made by the same plant) are nearly as good, but cost a few cents less per blade.

Voskhods is my one & only 'go-to' blade.

I found this blade to be 'awesome', forgiving and perfect with no pulling or tugging, very, very smooth, (albeit a 'weeper' now & then..but zero 'nicks'), no irritation and/or razor burn that %99.9 of the time results in CCS's in 3 passes (WTG, CTG & ATG), with 2 great shaves per blade (I shave every-other day with Saturdays as my shaving 'day off'),...and are very compatible with both of my Merkur 23C & 38C razors.
