Very similar to my experience. Very different to Voskshod. Sharper and smother, but YMMV as always. I like them in a DE89 or Gillette adjustables.I think they're good, quite sharp.
To my face they feel like a slightly rougher 7o'clock yellow.
I personally would say nothing like a voskhod, I think voskhod are blunt & tuggy, good for 2 uses at best. Everyone is different, evidently.
The 7 o'clock SharpEdge I forgot to mention are another great Russian made blade,one of my favourites, I agree the astra sp's is very near the sputnik, as is the gillette silver blue, which work exceptionally well in my gillette tech.I've used about a tuck of Sputnik blades and the first one was a duff one (really rough and nasty) but the others I found to be more consistent.
I'd observe it to perform much like many of the other Gillette PPI blades but not the sharpest (70C Yellow being the sharpest) or the smoothest I have tried (Gillette Platinum Blue), but a decent all round performer with a good lifespan - so not a million miles from a Astra SP but as ever YMMV.
Gemstone + they have a TSR discount
The Swedish seller i can't vouch for, but the Russian seller was upfront with no skullduggery selling activities, if you click on the Seller information:You bloody ripper Mr Fox if this seller is very trustworthy
