I'm currently using a batch a Rapira on your recommendation.
They're fine.
I won't reorder.
I'll go back to the Isreali Crystal blades

I've got maybe 80 Voshkod and 80 Astra's, with like 150 Israeli Gillette's.  That'll hold me for a while.  I've also got a bunch of straights and sharpening stones, so that'll hold me the rest of my life expectancy (and I can gift the straights, a few over 100 years old) to my next generation for satisfying shaving.

Yep.

I have Gillette yellows, Gillette “Laboratory” Blades, Gillette Hospital blades, Gillette blues.  Bought long before Gillette showed themselves to be woke ass simps.

But I still think feathers beat them all.   My second shave on a feather blade is the best.   I have at least a thousand feathers in a dry box while I use up the gillettes.

I bought a bunch of Voskhods during round 1 of the Russian sanctions in 2018 or 2019 and I still have a bunch, I only switch them out when I get bored with my Personna lab blues.

Honestly the best Russian blades I ever used were either the Wizamet or Polsilver super iridiums.

Feathers have no longevity, a couple of shaves and they're done. Yeah, they're sharp, but they don't last.

Israeli, or even US, made Personas...better blades. Astras, even Rockwells last longer.

Real Crystals, of which I have a hoard of maybe 500...8-10 minimum of excellent shaves per blade.

Two 100-packs of Voskhods arrived today from Amazon.

Fight me.

Still working on a 100 pack of Persona Blues.  Made in USA.  They work fine for me.

Persona for cheap blades. otherwise feather gang.

I bought 3 100 packs of Astra Platinums when that shit started.

Feather and Shark blades are rejected as tools of the devil, as I'm not into self mutilation.

I really like the Kai blades.

made in Japan just like the feathers but are thicker and last longer. Just as sharp but smoother and can shave for two weeks on a blade.

I don’t think I can use all the blades I have.
When something is that cheap you know you’ll need you stack it deep.
