5 days ago I received 2 packs of Indian made Astra Superior Stainless. So here is another comparison.
The pack on the left is Russian, manufactured 21/01/2022. The one on the right is Indian made. Has 3054 on the pack which means 23/02/2023.
As usual only the blade has been changed with all other variables kept the same. Cream, razor, brush and aftershave. The razor used was The Shave Factory adjustable.
I have to say here we are talking small differences. Again the Russian blade is just a tiny bit sharper than the Indian. With the Indian blade I had some resistance on my moustache and goatee area ATG and on my neck XTG, that definitely was not present with the Russian blade. Level of irritation during the shave and during afterhsave application was equal. Also closeness of shave was equal even late in the day.
