Hi @StratMan the same experience @astinus4 and I had. I wonder if they were a bad batch because many swear by them.

I reckon they were a bad batch mate.. i have tried voskhod blades before but only 5 and that was right at the start of my DE shaving journey. All i remember was that they were not very sharp but they were very smooth, unlike the ones we tried

TOBS
Potosi (Craig & Aitken) razor

Shaving every few days when the whiskers are long enough for my liking. Noticed with the TOBS that my skin dries out quite quick after the shave. Wondering if there is anything I can do prevention wise?

On the hunt for a slightly bigger bowl than the Muhle one I have

With all that is going on, I thought I should treat myself with the Toggle.

Somehow this mad week passed without me having a shave and it does feel so good to have a smooth face again. The Stealth Slant is just a joy to use - especially in a situation like this.
