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 RUclipsr 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)
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.
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. ....
Genuinely surprised either Astra greens or blues aren't on the list lol. Definitely one of my personal tops.
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!
Voskhods are my favorites too! Great blade line-up!
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.
After starting to get into DE head shaving, I prefer the astras...
Idk what the going rate is for Astra SPs but I found them on west coast shaving for like 2.00 per 5 pack and 18 for 50 or 100 blades I cant remember
i found voshkods were hopeless for head shaving
New too de shaving but tired all the mainstream blades so far astra the best for me
I’m just getting into DE shaving. Rockwell is sending me a 100 blade pack for free when I ordered my first razor kit from them. In your experience, have the Rockwell blades held up in the quality department?
Astra SPs are currently my No.1 blade. I have only ever tried the MIR to date. I might buy the MII a try!
gillete silver blue is also between my favorites!! really great shave! waiting for a pack of voskhod from my family who comes from belarus!
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
For me, it’s 1.) Nacet…2.) Feather…3.) Voskhod…and 4.) Astra SP. My second tier blades are 1. ) Gillette Platinum..2.)Bic SP..and 3.). Gillette Silver Blue. Gillette makes some great blades but the Nacet rings the bell for sharpness and smoothness. My razors are the Rockwell T2 and 6C, and a 1965 Gillette Slim.
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.
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.
The Clean Shaver Feathers are nice to use in adjustable razors like Progress. First use you can put the razor on mild setting and second shave go up.
Years ago I got a sample. It was like a rusty hacksaw blade. Must have been a bad batch because everyone raves about them.
I totally agree.. They are not as good as I thought
My favourite are the Astra green, sharp and smooth.
Which ones would you recommend for a beginner?
I just did a blade review the other day for the Voskhod blades!
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.
daddy i want to shave! lol, cutest thing ever
Was just going to say that, super cute lol
Voshkod is one of my favorites ,nice compterble shave 👍
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%. Thank you for your video though.
To each their own, man. I agree that everyone has different preferences. For me, Voskhod have been incredible performers, but I have gotten dud blades from them before. Maybe that was the case for you? What are your top 5?
I am in the game of shaving for a long time, but only recently I have returned to de razors, as they have been quite difficult (impossible really) to come across in the places I lived. Now that I have re-discovered the game though, I am trying staff like a mad man! Screw money saving! I like this!!! To answer to your question, so far, Astra (green) seem to work best on me. 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. Maybe I should give them a couple of more tries.
@@polpan1973 I'm years apart from this post, but maybe it's a hair difference. Thick hair vs thin hair, curly vs straight vs wavy. Idk, I'm a noob to all of this, but that's my guess.
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 RUclips channel for my review on the Dorco Prime DE Blades! Great to see you back!
Feather blades in my Edwin Jagger De89, best shave EVER!!!
You can get voskhod blades on amazon for like 8 to 9 dollars and they come to you in 5 day’s or less
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).
Congratulations. You're the only American who correctly pronounces the name of this blade. "Voskhod" it means Sunrise. And you only who shave head right. I think soon I'll have to shave mine too. So, I'm giving you a thumbs up and respect. By the way, with which razor, Voskhod blade, works best for you?
Thank you! I may have had to ask a Russian-speaking friend tell me how to pronounce it. ;-)
Prior to the last few months, I would shave my face as well, but I'm enjoying having a beard right now. 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.
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
Thanks for the video.
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.
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.
My favourite one is the Derby Premium. 👌
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!
Thanks for posting. I just ordered some Voskhod blades. You never mentioned how many shaves you get out of them.
+Jeremy Vuozzo I average 3-4 depending on how many passes I do per shave.
I really like crystal blade but am excited to try your top two picks
Hi. What's your favorite razor (safety or straight).
Thank you.
God bless, Proverbs 31
The good blade also should stay sharp so that not to change frequently . For the barbershop they allowed to use once and throw away .
I ordered some Voskhods! I'm currently using Astras. I wanna see and feel the difference. I shave with a Merkur 23C.
How is it?
@@phoeNYkx they are great! Great all around blade. Not the sharpest....definitely middle of the road. But it goes well with my razor. I love shaving now. They are so cheap too. $10 for 100. I use them 1 or 2 times...then I throw them away.
I'm going try persona blades next...or those Japanese ones...the feathers. I want something sharper.
If you want something middle of the road. Not sure anything beats them.
I have to try Voshkods.. Gillette 7 o clock sharp edge has been my go to for a long time lol love those damn blades!
Hi.I'd like your opinion on Asco blades ?
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!
Totally fair. Many of these blades are a YMMV situation. Thanks for watching!
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.
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.
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.
great video! quick question, you Shave you face and head 3 - 4x with a blade? I use a blade 1 time on my head and face because the next day it will feel rough. I find this with feathers, Astras, and personnas (my preferred blades).
+Edwin Hernandez Correct. I find I can usually get 3 head and face shaves out of one blade. But that's probably not true for everybody.
+The Clean Shaver tried the Voskhods today. Love them. They are very similar to Astras, they feel a bit sharper but just as smooth. just ordered 300 for $7 each. Now that's a deal!!! Thank you for the great advice.
Actually u should pronounce Voskhod without K . Today i was amazed how smooth a polsilver can be after 4-th shave.
I love Russian blades but have not been able to get a good shave out of a voshkod yet....Astra sp green are the best all around
When you say 3 - 4 shaves per blade, does that include 3 passes?
How do you rank Wilkonson blades? Thanks
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.

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.
Have you tried Gillette Platinum plus made in Brazil?
I have not.
for me number 1 is perma sharp blades and 2 is voskhod.
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.
Nice & good to see you!
are the Voskhod Teflon coated similar to the polsilver?
Hi what's the difference for 34c to 38c merkur ? Except the Handel it's the same ?
Exactly. The only difference is the handle length.
Allow me one question please
How many times you can use voskhod blade before it will become dull?
Nikos
3-4 times. Sometimes dull right out the box.
I'm going with the Personna. What safety razor do you recommend with those blades? I think I have similarities to you. Coarse hair, have to shave face and head and so on for reference. Thanks!
Personnas have worked very well in virtually every razor I've ever tried.
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.
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
I have not shaved with a lot of blades, but I used feather since I started traditional shaving. It would not be wrong to unanimously call it the sharpest blade there is
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...
I found voskhod were blunt after one shave
Cork um. On the feathers
try Treet Silver. awesome blade
I'll have to give them a shot.
oh, no... is the barbaros as mild as a tech for you? i have one en route and i hope it's not that mild!
+eric burgos It's not necessarily as mild as a tech, but it feels like it. It's actually very efficient, but feels very mild. Plus it's GORGEOUS.
The Clean Shaver whew. you had me worried, lol.
Gr8 video! Thx for sharing. Voskhod, btw, is also my #1 ;-)
You might want to watch the documentary on Netflix about Teflon. Not something I'd want to be rubbing across my freshly shaven face. To each their own though.
Confession heard, you are forgiven, now go forth and give me 1000 hail youtube's & don't let it happen again!
Feather are the best, all the Gillette St. Petersburg are great, some Lord are good, most Voshkod but Indian usually the worst.
Glad a Russian blade made #1, not because I have a lot of love for Russia, but because they have some darn good blades that can be had at a great price. My first DE razor was a Rapira that came with a pack of Rapira super stainless blades. The combination was a bit aggressive, but Ladas gave a very nice shave with that razor :-)
Derby black is better then the green ones
niice! Thank you for sharing Scott :)
new to the channel and safety razor shaving wondering your thoughts on viking safety razor
I've never used it, actually. They look pretty decent, but I have a feeling you could get a better performing razor for a similar price. Like I said, though, I haven't tried them so I don't know personally. I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
Which matters more, the blade or the razor?
I’d probably say the blade. A good blade in a mediocre razor can shave well. A poor blade in a good razor can shave poorly.
Sir, what about DORCO TITAN
whats your thoughts on the Astra's sp???
For me, they're just okay. I don't get bad shaves from them, but I get better shaves from other blades, so they don't see much action in my den.
Hey quick question. Where do you get your Voshkods from because I looked on eBay and for 100 blades shipped it's under $10. Is that real? Or can they be fakes? And how do they compare to Astra SP's?
+Roberto Fuentes That's where everyone I know has been getting them. What's the seller's username?
+The Clean Shaver gordelux04
Found bic chromium recently. Big surprise. Virtually as sharp as the feather, smooth, without the bloodbath and burn.
You said number 3, two times... i think. but thats ok
Man, where is Derby in the list?
I've never had great shaves from Derby blades. At least, never more than once per blade. For me, they aren't worth the money because they don't last as well as others.
The Clean Shaver have you also tested derby premium?
I have not. They're on my list, though.
You said 3 twice
Ever tried souplex blades?
I haven't! Do you have a link to find them?
Bolzano!
shout out!! Thanks, Bro!
Kai Perma Rapiralux Astrass sharkcrome
Astra ??
Kids make great armrests!
I would like to send you a blade to try that I import called Zircon. You do not have to review it. I just would like you to try it. Very smooth. Very sharp. Message me back if you are interested.
You forgot number 4? You did number 3 twice.
Astra and Feather. The best in the Whole fkn world. And open ' comb' Merkur razor
Go to the point.
Eyyy it seems like you have a Harry Potter bathroom like me....well mines under my stairs hence the harry Potter moniker
Scott! Let the child shave for god's sake! :)
great video Scott!
PS tag ME!!!!!!
+The Canuck Shaver Next time, my man.
+The Clean Shaver awww yaa
Gillette? Yeah I don't think so.
The first non russian guy I see pronounce Voskhod correctly! Everyone else is butchering it!
Are you in your hallway. Look to close in.
that bathroom is tiny
Some people don`t have all the space in the world, bet it gets the job done though ;)
Thanks for noticing. You are a genious.
Russia wins again 🤣😂😉
