First and foremost; I thought it was lovely that you didn't stop the video to remove your daughter, but let her stay with you. This video will be a wonderful memory for both of you. And the, "Daddy I want to shave," comment should wind up in her wedding video of her growing up. Secondly, I have used Feather blades for over two years, and I love them. That said, I was gifted my late father-in-laws Pomco Slant, which is a very aggressive shave. It's great for me, with my dark hair and coarse whiskers; however, I'm looking for a different blade to use in it that the Feather. This is not the first top five video I've watched today; yet everyone list the Russian Voskhod blades. So, I'm going to see if I cannot find a small pack online and try them out. @GeoFatBoy is the only shaving KZreadr I've subscribed to; because he just talks about the shaving products. No forecast, no movie reviews, no useless rambling to fill up space in his videos. You are on the same par with him. Although I've watched a few of your other videos, I wasn't going to subscribe. But your interaction with your daughter has changed my mind. If you can be this kind of a father, and talk straight shaving business, you deserve a vast following. May God bless and keep you, Scott (aka Rood67)

Voskhods are my favorites too! Great blade line-up!

Nice review Scott! I'm a head shaver too and my favorite blade is the Gillette silver blue! I found them very sharp and very smooth!They gave me too about 4 to 5 shaves ! I don't feel any skin irritation even if I use after my shave a cologne with 60 degrees of alcohol. ....

The VOSKHOD teflon coated blades are also my favourites (so far).👍

I've recently discovered a newfound love for Perma-sharp blades. They are sharp and smooth for me.

gillete silver blue is also between my favorites!! really great shave! waiting for a pack of voskhod from my family who comes from belarus!

Been using Shaverboy blades for a year now and they’re my favourite blade period! They’re inexpensive and very comfortable. You can find them on amazon.

Thanks for a great video! I rotate with Voskhod and Feather blades, depending on which razor I'm using. I live in the far south west of the UK and haven't got many barber suppliers around me, so I get my blades from Ebay. Last year I started ordering 100 Voskhods every month or so. I've got over 1,000 now.They will probably outlast me. Regards from across the pond!

Genuinely surprised either Astra greens or blues aren't on the list lol. Definitely one of my personal tops.

I just did a blade review the other day for the Voskhod blades!

Recently got a few blade samples and decided to try out the Voskhods - I can tell you I never had a better headshave thus far. They were super efficient and smooth when gliding over my head - no nicks, no problems at all (went BBS). Also got the Personnas to try out - looking forward to how they perform. Btw I love using a slant on my head - currently it´s the Merkur 37c, but I got a Maggards Slant and a iKon x3 on the way. What is your take on using a slant on your head? Cool video & greetings from Germany!

Voshkod is one of my favorites ,nice compterble shave 👍

Nice & good to see you!

I've been going through a sampler, and I have the same top 2 as you so far. Going to test durability next time. I still have 1 of each to come back to later. Seems like I need at least moderate sharpness. Derby and Shark were great until I got to the areas around my mouth and chin; they just aren't sharp enough for coarser hair.

I was surprised to see the bolzanos making it in this top 5...i recently got rid of them and tried feather hi-stainless. Night and day! A new bolzano feels like a used feather on my skin

Thanks for the video.

hey, I have alarge selection that came with my Edwin. How would you rank, from the ones you know, Astra stainless, astra platinum, Shark, Lord super chrome, Big Ben, Derby, Rapira, Treet, feather and voskhod for beginners? I hear feather are something best left for when i'm a bit more experienced.

Astra SPs are currently my No.1 blade. I have only ever tried the MIR to date. I might buy the MII a try!

I cant believe Astra is not on his list. I used Voshkods, it had so many dull blades, would never shave with them even if it was free... Astra SS, and Rockwell is my go to blades. I also use Perma Sharp which is great.

It is the best blades ( Voskhod and rapira platinum lux) i have ever used, and i will use it forever, i compared it with many blades nothing compared to it

Hi. What's your favorite razor (safety or straight). Thank you. God bless, Proverbs 31

Wow, crazy just how much YMMV you get in wet shaving, agreed with your other choices but for me Voskhod are the worst blades I have tried. Had a couple of batches but for me they are tuggy and unusable, I may try and cork one to see if that helps. My top blades include Polsilver, Astra sp, Gillette sharpedge and Persinna. Thanks for the review.

I recently started head shaving and the voskhod were not pleasant... :( maybe a bad batch? Astra and gillete 7oclock are my top two at the moment. Still working on trying other blades though.

Voskhod is a great blade! They are in my top 5 also. But my favorite blade is the Astra SPs. I've been using the new Dorco Prime blades & they are now in my top 5...... very sharp, smooth & pretty inexpensive. You should give them a try! Check out my KZread channel for my review on the Dorco Prime DE Blades! Great to see you back!

My favourite one is the Derby Premium. 👌

are the Voskhod Teflon coated similar to the polsilver?

I have found the Voshkods to be very inconsistent. Spit 100 with a friend. Several of the packs were just unusable. We both had this experience. The ones that were good were excellent but the bad packs were rough and awful. I have to go with Feathers, Rapira Plat Lux, and Astra SS. The Feathers in my Phoenix DOC and the others in the DE89. If the Voshkods were consistent then they would be right up there.

@TheCleanShaver

Totally fair. The only time Feathers are great for me is either on the second or third use (in just about any razor) or the first time in a VERY mild razor like the DOC. I've heard of other people having quality issues with Voskhod's, but I never have. I'm sure the more you use, the more you'll find, though.

Question for you and any others on your channel. I just bought a box of persona blades on Amazon. They are wrapped in plain white rather than the blue paper I've seen, also the print on the blades is smeared and not neat like I've seen on others (other blade types and some persona blades in videos I've seen). Is it likely they are imitation? They were sold by Amazon, not a private seller.

3-4 complete shaves per blade, so yes, that includes multiple passes. If you go 3 passes every shave, you’ll get fewer total shaves out of it. Wilkinson’s are good blades. I haven’t used them much, but I know many who swear by them.

I just ordered a sampler pack that includes 4 of the top 5. All I’ve had experience with is Gillette Platinum. How do the blades from this review compare (I have VERY course facial hair, and (at least in my Merkur) they’re not aggressive enough, causing a lot of reshaving, though I only get razor burn when the blade’s a dud (which has been a full third of them).

I've never tried the Gillette Platinum, actually. But I'd put good money on the quality and performance of any of these blades. Every now and then, you will get a dud, but they're 99% solid. All sharp (some more than others), and good quality. You shouldn't be disappointed.

My variant Parker with van der Hagan razor blades is the best. Yes, Van Der Hagan. I tried them other razors, and they are the worst. Something about the angle with that one razor works very well for me.

What is the SHARPEST blade regardless of price? I’ve tried 5 or 6 different DE brands and still can’t come even close to the sharpness and speed of a Gillette fusion 5 cartridge. Maybe a single blade just can’t compete with 5? To me it’s on another level of speed and closeness but I keep trying the single blades because they have the cool factor

You seem to be quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite experienced with shaving, so I just want to say that I fully respect your top-5. Equally respectfully, I totally disagree - for Voskhod. I hate them and I believe that they would not even make it in my bottom-5! Mind you though, this has so many personal parameters, I doubt if two people on earth can agree 100%.

Now, I live in Qatar and I have found the following brand: Inglish. No, I have not misspelled it. They are made in India and I bought them for a joke really, but I was hugely surprised. Feather, I am undecided about them, but compared to the Voshkod I have tried, they are super-smooth. I have heard a lot of people saying great things about Voshkod.

And, I've yet to find a razor that the Voskhod blades haven't worked well in. Probably my favorite that I have on hand is the Blackland Razors Blackbird.

Rapira Swedish Supersteel lasts forever .. Almost .. 8 shaves on the face, 2-3 on the head. That's amazing for the price you pay for them.

I am sorry but I don't like Voskhod blades and I think they're in a different level in comparison with the other 4. Voskhod are very mild and for a hard beard like mine, it causes irritation and a gives a bad shave. For some reason they're famous, many wet shavers I know love them however I would prefer Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless or Astra SP in first place... Thanks for the video!

People have different skin and different hair. It's amazing how wildly blades work for them. Thank god we have sample packs :p

My Pastor gave me 20 Feather blades and I love them, even though I have sensitive skin (but tough beard). So, I have ordered a Feather Popular razor since it is made for medium to sensitive skin and also designed specifically for the Feather blades. The razor is cheap (being plastic+metal construction) , so no big hassle if not pleased (ordered from Amazon).

Voshkods and Bolzanos do not work well for me, I find Voshkods not sharp enough and Bolzano not smooth enough. I like Feathers second and third shave very much and also Gillette Silver Blue, sharp and smooth. I still can't understand how some people will call the same blade very sharp and others not really sharp, even considering the different razors in which they are used...

Gillette Nacet Stainless, & Crystals are my top blades so far with Gillette yellow in 3rd & Astra SP a ways back in 4th. The only blades that pique my interest at this point are Gillette Rubies, Gillette Silver Blues and Polsilvers. Although at 8 cents a blade, and the picture perfect performance I have seen, I'm convinced these Nacets are going to be nigh impossible to dethrone, even by the mighty Polsilvers, GSB or Rubie. I bought 100 Voskods and they seemed awfully dull to me. Sold the remaining 90 on ebay just a couple days ago. I have about 90 or so feathers left out of my box of 100... they seem polar opposites of Voskhods, ie too sharp. They are fun, but very unforgiving. I think of it kind of like a race car, but not a good daily driver at all. Once they are gone, they are gone.... may even sell them.
