Fair enough, I figure a lot of people don’t want to mess with the B-20s from having to load their own.I didn't forget them, I just named the three that come in injector packages. Most folks don't reload the B-20s.
Huh, that's interesting, most of my Nacets (and Perma-Sharps) compe in unprinted white paper. Is there some vintage or reason that some do and some don't?
I have no idea... All the tucks I've opened are printed, but I haven't opened all the tucks to check. <eg>I didn't forget them, I just named the three that come in injector packages. Most folks don't reload the B-20s.

Were the Permasharps just on sale again this week? I must have missed it. I’d like to stock up on some more myself even though they aren’t my favorite perhaps I’ll find a certain razor that prefers them in the future.
Phoenix, I don’t blame ya for tossing them after a single use if that’s your results. Certain blades decline much faster then others. Most blades are good on the 2nd shave for me but certain ones have a little bit of decline. By the 3rd shave it’s much more noticeable depending on the blade but most of my favorites are still good for me.
If I wanted to get peaks performance out of every blade I’d likely bin them after the 2nd shave. But from memory I think the Astra SP decline a bit after the 1st shave even though I could push them to 3-4 shaves and find them a great blade overall.
Your beard must be extremely coarse since mine is on the coarser side and I don’t have issues on the 2nd shave with most blades. It would be nice to have a way to gauge beard coarseness and skin sensitivity since it seems like most people here have a coarse beard with sensitive skin. I’d say my skin is slightly sensitive and my beard coarser then average but I don’t go around rubbing other guys faces.
When you open those up in 30 years you’ll find FlyDears or Derby’sThe PPI hoarding I mentioned recently... 2 different suppliers. The bagged ones were from SafetyRazorPlace off Amazon.
300 Gillette Silver Blue
300 Gillette Perma-Sharp
I'd preferred that all the stock came in the white plastic bags for preservation since I won't be digging in these anytime soon.

Awesome! Do you have a good source below $20/100?View attachment 1845301
1200 Voskhods. I just think they're neat. I can't help myself with Russian blades lately.
Barely. Super Safety Razors on ebay. $18.95/100.Awesome! Do you have a good source below $20/100?
Outside of eBay, Razor Emporium has them in 100s. Can't verify that they are not old garbage(uneven side to side).Am in the US. Anyone know where I can buy Voskhod blades in bulk that won't break the bank?
Gratitude in advance...
Huh, thanks...So, am I to infer these blades at some point had manufacturing issues: poor production quality? Is thatOutside of eBay, Razor Emporium has them in 100s. Can't verify that they are not old garbage(uneven side to side).
It's been awhile, but the two sides were ground different and they just shipped them. I remember somebody buying several hundred and having to throw every single one out. With them getting rarer, I worry that these will resurface and the seller will claim that it's user error. We had something similar happen with Israeli Personnas last year where reportedly dross blades escaped the plant. At least with that one, the seller was in Israel and the plant closed several years previous so a bit of due diligence was possible. With these, we don't really know what we are getting nor how many of the defective ones are in the supply chain. For what it's worth, I like these blades and have some, but failed to stock up and gave up before that unfortunate incident in Ukraine even. Gillette Wilkinson Swords are as good or better and I have several hundred of the CN made ones and some IN made ones.Huh, thanks...So, am I to infer these blades at some point had manufacturing issues: poor production quality?
