Voskhod blades?

Does anyone here have experience with Voskhod blades? Just purchased 150 of them and thought i probably should have done more research.

I like em. Pretty sharp and I get my usual three shaves from them no problem.

Voskhods are a bit of an enigma to me. They are not the sharpest but maybe the smoothest. They get me thinking about how a blade works its magic. It seems to me that while "sharpness" is an obvious quality for a blade, drag is also important. The coating on the Voskhod makes for a smooth, forgiving shaving experience. I use a Voskhod when I have to shave daily. Even if it doesn't give me the closest shave(single pass WTG if I am shaving daily), it is very easy on my face, and that is a very good thing.

I'm using my second or third one right now. Definitely a fine blade for me. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

They are on my list of worthwhile blades. Definitely a keeper!

Excellent! They are also arriving with some stranger brands like Lada and Sputnik.

Love em myself. Ive found that these on par with lab blues and silver blues. maybe not quite as sharp but VERY smooth!!

Love 'em! My #1 blade (right now).

Voskhods are a nice point on the sharpness/smoothness spectrum of me, a very enjoyable blade.

Bonus Trivia Point: Voskhod translates in english to Sunrise.

These blades are ok. They only last me 3 shaves(two of which are performed on a fresh edge meaning on the 3rd shave I use both edges- usually only use them for 2 shaves) and don't get much use anymore because while I thought they were pretty smooth when I got them I now know they are low on the blade ladder of quality. If you think these are smooth you might keep looking. Try 7oclock yellow, PermaSharp Supers, 7oclock Blacks, Personna Reds, or even Sputnik Teflons are smoother and provide more shaves.

The good thing is you'll be able to trade them off easily for something better.

For me...Voskhod is my 'one & only go to' blade (a perfect balance of sharpness [moderate], smoothness [awesome] and price [sweet])!

PS Did you know that Voskhod means 'sunrise' in Russian

Yep, money well spent. Don't worry.

Great blades that I make sure to keep in my rotation.

I just ordered a pack of 5 of these to try out. They seem popular enough, so maybe they will work for me too.

Didn't think too much of them. You may get on OK with them which is all that matters. If not trade/sell them.

For $20 how bad can it go?

In my rotation, top three.

Where did you find this deal?

eBay.

Tried a couple in my EJ89 and didn't like them at all. Was surprised how much they are talked up about. But as they say, YMMV. Mine sure did!
