voskhod de blades

Yea I read some of that link a few months back and the sharpness of the BICs surprised me but I've never tried BIC, I suppose I was more surprised because I hadnt heard BICs being mentioned as much on wet shaving forums

Yes will defo try put perma sharp, can't wait

...Vokshod is made by Mostochlegmash, but[sic] the way. Their Platinum Lux is a good blade. Again, you can see some striking similarities with the Gillette Rubia ... and again, the Rapira is a better blade in my opinion...

You're saying the Platinum Lux is a better blade than the Gillette Rubie Platinum (Plus)? I just want to clarify that before we initiate committal proceedings.
 
Vosk's are infamous for having issues with quality control, I have a good batch and it's a good blade for a medium efficiency razor for daily shaves. It'd not be choice for blade for shaving my head or for stubble of more than a day.
 
for those of you whove been involved in this thread just a quick update,
so i thought i'd try out the same voskhod blade in my twig se razor as its mild and efficent,
obviously i snapped it in half to fit so i could use it with the twig razor,
so i must say it felt somewhat smoother but the sharpness was about the same
 
okay so i tried the same voskhod blades in the leaf razor, the one half of a blade that i used in the twig i simply placed in the middle of the leaf razor and i put the other half of the voskhod at the bottom of the leaf razor, i hope im making sense lol

anyways it definately felt sharper but wasnt as smooth at all, it is amazing how the same razor can feel so different in different razors

I think your the only person iv noticed that’s ever said that. The Voskhod are a top blade for me but mind you most Russian blades iv came across are good.
Perhaps you should try it in a different razor
EDIT
sorry just read above you’ve tried it in the twig.
just shows were all different
I hate the Bic but i see you like that also

Many, including myself, have said as such. It's a mediocre blade that suffers from ghastly QC at the factory.

That Surprises me as it’s possibly in my top 5
Everyday is a school day on here.

don’t get me wrong o can imagine the Qc being pretty shoddy in Russia but fingers crossed they keep producing quality.
I Also thought the QC in Thailand would have been pretty naff but these Gillette Super Slims are wonderful
