Greetings from Russia, Mr Szorady! These blades are made in Moscow! The name is pronounced like this: was + haud (the stress is on haud)😃 and восход means “sunrise”
Thanks, Razor Blade.:) Really appreciate this!:) My apologies but I was pronouncing as I saw it in English. So, I'll make sure to use the correct pronunciation.:)
rip, it seems that, the more I do the traditional wet shave, the more blades I try and acquire.:) I, too, have hundreds:) But, a nice problem to have.:)
I absolutely love the Voskhod blades. Exactly as you said, smooth without being overly aggressive and quality control seems spot on as I can’t even remember a bad one in the batch of 100. Very good price too easy for those who like a new blade with each shave or two.
Fantastic razor blades, incredibly sharp on the first 3 pass bbs shave left my neck nicked and irritated. After it was broken in, my Voskhod was buttery smooth on the 2nd with no irritation or nicks using my rockwell R4 plate. You're a brave gladiator with the viking razor as it looks like you're shaving with Thors hammer!
Joe, that Joe, I use them the same way. They impress me as a blade with a little bit more aggression and sharpness, so a mild blade, for me, is the way to go.:)
@@MarkSzorady also I love your vids, been watching them for a long time... I got alot of knowledge from your vids, I really hope you keep making them and see what new shaving products you will try next
Hi Mark! The Voskhod is one of my faves, beside the Rapira SP. Both running good in all my Super Speeds, EJ Kalvin and the Schick Krona. Very smooth and efficent. Keep on the good content 👍
Hi, stevemiester007. As I ve mentioned before, I like Voskhods nd love the shave they give. Then, I'll try Rapira and think, at that moment, that they give an even better shave. THEN, I'll go back to Voskhods and think, "Wait, these are are better than Rapiras.":)
Sorry i'm late to the party but, as a native Russian speaker - K is silent in Voskhod (i think it was put in for English version because if you write Voshod the "s" and "h" after each other produces the "sh" sound which is not how you pronounce Восход) the "x" in Russian makes the same sound as H in Hi. I also think they are made in Moscow.
Nice shave. I love my Amber Aerolite brush too. That and the Perigrino are my 2 main go to brushes. Great feel and lather like nobody's business. Have a good day.
Nice video. I just bought a sample pack to try out. I usually use personna blue blades. The Voskhod blades seem comparable to the personna blue blades judging by reviews.
Hi Mark, Great Video! As you noted you are using the PAA Cube 2.0 per the instruction. I have noticed you using it this way for the past few weeks. Are you finding the Cube 2.0 is working better for you this way or in the manner you were previously using it? Also, how you rank the aggressiveness between the Godfather, Chieftain, and Chieftain 5 BC? Again, great video and I have a pack of Voskhods waiting when I am ready to switch blades.
That scuttle is awesome. Been using it myself. Boiling water does make its way into the handle and its not insulated well so you may be uncomfortable holding it when filled and fresh. I'm not afraid of it slipping and breaking.
I’m not 100% sure but I’ve heard that the (K) in Voskhod is silent, but I’m not really sure if that’s how it is pronounced or not. But definitely my favorite blade so far!
@@MarkSzorady I’m not really for sure if that’s the way it’s really pronounced or not but I I’ve heard it said with a silent (K) either way it’s a really great blade! Great review Mark and I’m glad to see you put Voskhod in the lime light on your channel, Thanks!
Enjoyed watching another one of your amazing videos, Mark. Voskhod blades are presently in the mail and I will try it as well with my Godfather Stonehenge Razor. Now to a question I couldn't get an answer for yet. What are the experts opinion with regard to flipping the blade upside down after every shave? Will it prolong sharpness due to a more even usage, or doesn't it matter whether you leave the blade always on the same side until you are replacing with a new blade? I must admit I have always been one of the latter.
I was using Voskhod for a while until a barber recommended Rapira platinum lux. Sharper than Voskhod but as smooth, at least to me anyway. Both are great blades😋
@@MarkSzorady you may be interested to know that I indeed tried those as well! I totally agree, they’re great blades! I think my order may have just gotten bigger. 😉🪒💈 Cheers, friend!
Rapira blades are also very good and similar to Voskod. I believe they are made at the same factory. They are less than $10 for a 100 pack on Amazon as well. Great shave!
I forgot how good the voskhod blades were. Been using feather and king c Gillette blades recently so I’m glad you put out this vid. Had a great shave with a Rockwell 6c on number five and was impressed with the efficiency and smoothness. Thanks Mark
Hi Mark- Great shave and razor review; thank you! I definitely need to re-try Voskhod blades; it has been quite awhile since I last used them! I hope you are well and take good care. All the best, Mark!
I bought a sample pack and just tried Voskhod, the first shave was extremely good, one of the best I had. However, the second was terrible, it has done the job but with nicks. I hope the others like Rapira Platinum Lux, Personna and co will be better. Astra greeen lasted for me about 3-5 shaves
John, it's a good one for sure. I sometimes think the Rapira is a bit better. Then, I use a Voskhod and think that it's better...then, the Rapira, the he Voskhod...Seems to be neck and neck with these two blades for me.:)
You inspired me to try a new blade also. I bought some 5 packs of gillete 7o clock yellow. To be honesy,i tried manu blades but this migjt be the best one yet. Its immediatly my favorite blade. My skin never felt so smooth!
Just tried out the voskhod blade, and wow they worked very well for me👌👌 im one of those super thick coarse hair guys. Keep up the great videos and information Mark😁
Paul, very glad to hear the Voskhod blades worked for you. It's al a YMMV sot of thing. Some report that Voskhod is inconsistent, blade to blade. I haven't found that. Each blade has been top-notch for me.
What other brand is the closest to this? Depending on how this war thing ends up these might be hard to get sometime soon, and I haven't used anything close to as good as these.
am I the only one who get's Mark theme song stuck in their head and finds themself humming it during the day ?? anyway , Mark , I love the Voskhod blade and find it to be perfect in My Mekur Futur razor ! stay safe My friend
This is the second blade i used after wilkinson. As a beginner it is very different:) not bad or good just different:) good thing i didnt cut myself. Thanks for your reviews
Hi Mark, Greetings! Voskhod blades are amazing. For me, they work best on a gillette tech fat handle razor. Great blade. I got about 400 of them in my DE blade collection
Lots of questions on the new packaging, which does not have Teflon Coated listed. But they all are indeed coated. Teflon is a specific brand name for PTFE. SO to avoid issues with the branding use of Teflon, the packaging has changed. Looks like you have old packaging from someone's stock somewhere. Truth he told, probably almost all de blades have Teflon, chromium or platinum coatings since it came out with Wilkinson Sword back in the 60s. Probably the cheapest blades that are on the generic side of things are not coated, but most brands are. Oh, I found out at the Rapira web page that they are coated. That's the parent company.
Hi Mark I bought a new razor and I watched a review and the reviewer said he had used mainly Voskhod in it so I bought a pack to try. Well I tried 2 of them and not used since I didn’t find them very sharp at all they pulled and tugged in my opinion they were closer to blunt than sharp and I shave every day. I did buy from a reputable company. It’s interesting as it seems a lot of people seem to like them so I was interested to see how you got on. Keep well and keep safe.
Leslie, as I mentioned in an above comment, I've used several and they've performed quite well for me. But, I use them in milder razors which might make the diffeernce. Not sure.
Not a deal breaker for me either to have tabs sticking out of a head but honestly don't see why all makers don't make the head a bit larger. It wouldn't cost that much more in materials.
Nice shave, Mark. You went all-in with PAA today. Love their products too. I like the Voskhod blades as well. Definitely in my top 5. You didn't say...but how would you compare that blade to say the Astra SP or other blades?
Anthony.:) Thaks for this.:) I guess I'm suing the Americanized pronunciation.:) I'll certainly make note of this and use it the net time around.:) Appreciated.:)
Wow, Mark Mostoklegmash ( I'am sure that's not writen like this, 🤣), dosen't play around! I want to try this Blade. Great video as always 👍. Ps: Unfortantly my Phantom cuts over reacts every time, but cold whater and alum set them.
Victor, I sometimes cannot decide between Voskhod and Rapira. I use Voskhod and thnk it' the better of the two, then I use Rapira and think that its the better one. :0
@@MarkSzorady that's funny Mark I watched a video that the RUclipsr puted this two blades in a microscop and the blades are Just a little bit diferent. The Voskhod Blade edge it's all lined up, It gives a much more soft fell but a not so close cut. Rapira Blade edge It's not lined it's crossed, what means that It gives a much more close cut, but not so confortable. It's an Very interesting vídeo, here It is: ruclips.net/video/FfxNIUQaWGI/видео.html
Good morning Mark. Voskhod!! I love them. I'm surprised to hear the mixed reviews in the comments. For me, the first shave is decent, but it gets Even smoother as I use it. They're sharp enough, but the smooth factor is where these really shine. This blade has the most shaves per blade for me. My record is 7 full 3 pass shaves. I only threw it out so I could try a different blade. I typically toss blades at 4 uses so that is saying something. You should try it in your fatboy, maybe setting 3 or 4? That worked well for me.
I really like these blades.Cheap, sharp and forgiving. I always have a few packs. Together with Perma-Sharp my favorites. For your next MMB. Do you have a soap that you owned for a very long time, you,are using often now? I have a TOBS grapefruit in my cabinet standing for a few months. Now i use it a few days and i really like it again!
Great video. I’m a big fan of these blades , but like many other worthwhile things in life, I come to the party a little too late. By that I mean that the price you paid for the blades is ancient history. I paid $ 22.00 for 100 and , well, that’s okay.
Tyler, it seems a new blade comes along and hits all the right notes. I like these Voskhods but in mild razors (or adjustable razors set at mild levels). I like Lord Platinums, Astra Greens, Personna Blues (made in Israel), Derby Premiums. I guess I lean toward blades that have a Teflon, Platinum, Chromium, etc. coating.:)
If you have not tried yet, give Perma-Sharp blades a go! They are the best for me by far yet. They are similar to the PolSilver blades that arent really available much anymore. They give me an amazing close shave yet so forgiving for irritation and ingrowns. Another favorite yet much more pricey is Bolzano italian blades, now manufactured in Germany...titanium coated, They are similar to PermaSharp yet even sharper, maybe a touch less forgiving.
Hi, DirtyOrr#4. I have PermaSharps and need to do a video review of them. I agree, a good blade but I really need to go a bit more in-depth.:) Definitely going to do this.:)
@@MarkSzorady awesome! 👌🏼 get ahold of the Bolzano if you havent yet, PAA sells them. Put those babies in a mild razor head and they will give a BBS extremely comfortable shave. With a long lasting edge
Mark! Have you ever heard of the Future Fiction (sometimes labeled Future Science Fiction or Future combined with science fiction stories) magazine series from back in the day? I know you’ve said before how much you enjoy the artwork design Doug uses for that label. I’m not sure but I think this may have been the inspiration! You can see a bunch of examples on eBay.
The inconsistency has been too much of an issue with these blades. I’ve had so many duffs, from different, legitimate sources, that they’re not worth my while
Hi Mr Szorady. I am from Portugal. I Start Recent on The Wet Shaving. I only Have two Low Budget Saffety Razor. The Wilkinson Sword Premium Edition, and The King C Gillette Razor. My Favorite Razor and The only One that I use, is The King C Gillette. I Have Sensitive Skin, Start to use The Palmolive Sensitive Shaving Cream. Now I use Proraso white Pré-Shave, and Proraso white Shave Cream and The Proraso white After Shave. Blades The Gillette Platinum, damage my Beck área, the Bic Chrome Platinum, damage all Over my Face. My Favorite Blades on The King C Gillette, is 1 VosKhod very smooth. 2 Treet Platinum smooth, The only Platinum that is Good for my Skin. 3 Wilkinson Sword Gillette , Sallon Pack from Índia very Good for The Price. I see your Review, for The Skark Blades Super Chrome, is a Good Blade for The Sensitive Skin? The Astra SP Platinum, give a small Damage on my neck Área. I Buy on The eBay 20 Gillette Nacet, and 25 Derby Premium, to Try. Thank You.
I am somewhat surprised by someone of your stature who was so unfamiliar with Voskhod blades. :O Live and learn, I suppose is the lesson. Peculiar story, I have several USSR Era Russian razors and I vividly recall using a Voskhod in one and it completely incompatible in terms of comfort. I tried the same blade in a Gillette Knack which is roughly of the same era and it worked perfectly; n interesting parenthetical event for me.
Hi, WolfRanger2008. I may have used a Voskhod blade early on. I had a lot of sample packs. It's just that I don't believe I ever shot a video of it. I may have, but simply cannot remember. It also may not have the emphasis or main topic of the video. It might take some digging through my video archives to be sure.
Luka, interesting. Curious to know if it's a cut and dry type of thing. Seems there is no middle ground with these. Wet shaves either love 'em or hate 'em. At least that my early observation.
@@MarkSzorady They are just not sharp enough for me. I love sharp blades. Astras are my sweet spot, and gillette platinum white box, available just in supermarkets in Slovenia, havent seen them online. Recently am using also Feather in my Futur on mark 3, for first and second pass and 1 for third just great no irritation at all. Then we dig up voskhods for my oldest teenager for his first shave, so he wouldnt cut himself, they just didnt cut, he uses Astras now in 34C. Also my teenage girl used voshods for shaving her legs in Edwin Jagger lady. Didnt cut at all, now she is using Astras also. It is possible, I got bad pack.

That was enough CK6 soap for like 4 shaves!!!!! 😂😂😂
Voskhod are my favorite blades, unbeatable low price and good quality 🪒💈
They are quite good, Micahel, I agree.
Voskhod has been my blade of choice for two years. I’ve used it primarily in my Merkur Futur, and Muhle R41. It also works great in my Leaf.
I love them with my Futur set on 2.5.
Voskhod are made in Moscow and gillette nacet/silver blue and astra green are made in St:Petersburg:)
Perma-Sharp is from st Petersburg to :)
These have turned out to be my favorite blades. Sharp as I need it without giving me bumps like Feather. Just ordered 100.
Hi, Supernoob Smith. This is great to hear. I realize it's a YMMV sort of thing, but many, many wet shavers love the Voskhod.:)
Voskhod was the first blade i ever used and still my favourite.I've got hundreds of them.
rip, it seems that, the more I do the traditional wet shave, the more blades I try and acquire.:) I, too, have hundreds:) But, a nice problem to have.:)
So far Voskhod is my favorite blade!
I like them.:)
I also tried voskhod for the first time this past week, loved it!
I like Mark's shaving videos. Very informative but I get the sense he's a really descent person. That's what I like most.😁
Thanks, JimmyV123.:) I really appreciate the kind words.
I absolutely love the Voskhod blades. Exactly as you said, smooth without being overly aggressive and quality control seems spot on as I can’t even remember a bad one in the batch of 100. Very good price too easy for those who like a new blade with each shave or two.

And I don't want to buy them because Russia is a terrorist country
Just ordered some of these, really excited to try them out!

After it was broken in, my Voskhod was buttery smooth on the 2nd with no irritation or nicks using my rockwell R4 plate. You're a brave gladiator with the viking razor as it looks like you're shaving with Thors hammer!
I enjoy Voskhod so much I bought 1,500. Enough for a lifetime.
Wow! Enjoy!:)
Not enough for a lifetime unless you use the blades like 7 times before disposal.

Lots of questions on the new packaging, which does not have Teflon Coated listed. But they all are indeed coated. Teflon is a specific brand name for PTFE. SO to avoid issues with the branding use of Teflon, the packaging has changed. Looks like you have old packaging from someone's stock somewhere.
Truth he told, probably almost all de blades have Teflon, chromium or platinum coatings since it came out with Wilkinson Sword back in the 60s. Probably the cheapest blades that are on the generic side of things are not coated, but most brands are.
Oh, I found out at the Rapira web page that they are coated. That's the parent company.

very nice blades , last for aroung 2 or 3 shaves , regards robert , also are cheap
I see that some of the Voskhods say Teflon Coated and some say Super Stainless. Does anyone know if there’s a difference?
My understanding is that they had to stop saying 'Teflon' as it's a trademark. Same blades though.
Woshod blade the best
Great video. I’m a big fan of these blades , but like many other worthwhile things in life, I come to the party a little too late. By that I mean that the price you paid for the blades is ancient history. I paid $ 22.00 for 100 and , well, that’s okay.
Hey mark, what’s your favourite blade ever? Great video
Tyler, it seems a new blade comes along and hits all the right notes. I like these Voskhods but in mild razors (or adjustable razors set at mild levels). I like Lord Platinums, Astra Greens, Personna Blues (made in Israel), Derby Premiums. I guess I lean toward blades that have a Teflon, Platinum, Chromium, etc. coating.:)
Try Lamix, darn things stay sharp and hold an edge. It crazy! I have a tuff beard.
Hi, Barry. Tanks.:) Temporarily out of stock on amazon. I'll try Ebay.
If you have not tried yet, give Perma-Sharp blades a go! They are the best for me by far yet. They are similar to the PolSilver blades that arent really available much anymore. They give me an amazing close shave yet so forgiving for irritation and ingrowns. Another favorite yet much more pricey is Bolzano italian blades, now manufactured in Germany...titanium coated, They are similar to PermaSharp yet even sharper, maybe a touch less forgiving.
Hi, DirtyOrr#4. I have PermaSharps and need to do a video review of them. I agree, a good blade but I really need to go a bit more in-depth.:) Definitely going to do this.:)
@@MarkSzorady awesome! 👌🏼 get ahold of the Bolzano if you havent yet, PAA sells them. Put those babies in a mild razor head and they will give a BBS extremely comfortable shave. With a long lasting edge
@@Orr_s I'll look those up.:) Thanks.:)
@@MarkSzorady absolutely. Thanks for all the great videos
Mark! Have you ever heard of the Future Fiction (sometimes labeled Future Science Fiction or Future combined with science fiction stories) magazine series from back in the day? I know you’ve said before how much you enjoy the artwork design Doug uses for that label. I’m not sure but I think this may have been the inspiration! You can see a bunch of examples on eBay.
Mine says super stainless instead of Teflon coated
I've never seen that version. Anything I've ever seen on this blade always indicates a Teflon coating.

It's read without K. Simple Voshod
The inconsistency has been too much of an issue with these blades. I’ve had so many duffs, from different, legitimate sources, that they’re not worth my while
Hey man, that is a bummer. I never had that problem lucky to say.What problems did you run in to?
Well, I've used several since shooting this video and so far, so good.
Never had this problem, and I use a fresh blade daily going on two years.

I am somewhat surprised by someone of your stature who was so unfamiliar with Voskhod blades. :O Live and learn, I suppose is the lesson. Peculiar story, I have several USSR Era Russian razors and I vividly recall using a Voskhod in one and it completely incompatible in terms of comfort. I tried the same blade in a Gillette Knack which is roughly of the same era and it worked perfectly; n interesting parenthetical event for me.
Hi, WolfRanger2008. I may have used a Voskhod blade early on. I had a lot of sample packs. It's just that I don't believe I ever shot a video of it. I may have, but simply cannot remember. It also may not have the emphasis or main topic of the video. It might take some digging through my video archives to be sure.
I shave once a week 🤣
I paused this video too say I don't wash my face before the shave only because the facial oils and dead skin cells add a protective barrier.
I've never heard this before. Worth discussing for sure.:)
Putin approved? 😃
it's funny cuz you don't really have a beard :D
Sorry, for me they are useless....
Luka, interesting. Curious to know if it's a cut and dry type of thing. Seems there is no middle ground with these. Wet shaves either love 'em or hate 'em. At least that my early observation.
@@MarkSzorady They are just not sharp enough for me. I love sharp blades. Astras are my sweet spot, and gillette platinum white box, available just in supermarkets in Slovenia, havent seen them online. Recently am using also Feather in my Futur on mark 3, for first and second pass and 1 for third just great no irritation at all. Then we dig up voskhods for my oldest teenager for his first shave, so he wouldnt cut himself, they just didnt cut, he uses Astras now in 34C. Also my teenage girl used voshods for shaving her legs in Edwin Jagger lady. Didnt cut at all, now she is using Astras also. It is possible, I got bad pack.
