Same here. Although they don't last as long as my go to brand, I do get shaves from these blades.
For the record, my shaveabuck.com order of late Friday evening has shipped - a commendable turnaround for the weekend, and a holiday weekend at that.
I Can't find any on ebay. Are they still being made?
They don't ship to Ireland. I wonder though if this is just old stock and there not being made anymore.
I don't know. If you are comfortable, add your location in your profile. Best wishes on your search.

I really like the two shaves from a Voskhod blade - but I only wish they lasted longer.
I just wonder is the Moscow factory that make Voskhod and Rapiras still producing DE blades. If not then I need to start buying as many as I can get my hands on.

I just got 100 from shaveabuck. Although they only last about 5 shaves for me, I really like how smooth they are on my face.
I find the Voskhods to be among the smoothest shaving of my blades. When I last bought them a few years ago, they were hard to find then as well.
Maybe something temporary.
FYI Gillette's factory in Saint Petersburg makes Sputnik brand with the same Teflon coating:
I wonder how they shave.

I do not know what it means but here's the story:
Right after I post the above comment I head down to Rubinov's Barber Supplies and ordered some Voskhod blades. Not that I needed any but for the heck of it.
Just checked the price now and It's higher.

US sales are small for them, so almost anything could be happening. However, it is odd that they would go up in price. The falling ruble should make Russian products more available at substantially lower prices to countries on the dollar.
Either there's more than usual interest in the product just recently or pretty low stock.
Or perhaps both.
Who knows...

Seems to have disappeared. No more sellers of 100 on the Bay. So it's probably available, but spotty. My guess is old stock.
Just in case I just ordered 200 from Shaveabuck.

I found the Sputniks to be OK with slight pulling / tugging and a touch of burn & itching in my Merkur's 23C & 38C.
Whereas with Voskhod (my 'one & only go to' blade), there is a perfect balance of sharpness (moderate), smoothness (awesome)] and price (sweet)!

PS Did you know that Voskhod means 'sunrise'
