So are you saying
@Nick the Knife you don't like my razors
Trust me, this wasn't an impulse buy and they really work for me in my razors. The Voskhod work actually in everything I have tried them, and the Ladas are perfect for me in the Wolfman - and since today also in the Ikon DLC Slant.
I really need that balance of smoothness and sharp but not Feather. And of course at this price point I don't care about longevity...not that I have found a blade that can tackle my beard more than twice.
PolSilver, GSB and Nacets are almost too much for me. I like them, but I don't need them. Glue (Astras etc.) just puts me off and I am certainly not paying 1$+ per blade when mine are less than 10 cents. I know that my prep (or more accurately: my almost non existent prep) kills blades - but again at this price point I really don't care.
Having said that, I also think that the precision instruments I prefer make the blades so rigid, that only really poor blades won't work
