Aloha! Voskhod blades are my favorite blades, and I've been wet shaving with DE and Straight Razors for decades. I happen to love them. They are just perfect for my skin. Smooth as silk and a great close shave. BTW, it's not pronounced "Vosh-Kahd", it's pronounced Vos-Hod, accent slightly on the Hod. The K is silent and there is no SH in the pronunciation. Mahalo!

Voskhods are Teflon coated so the first a few strokes will not seem as sharp until the Teflon coating wears off a bit , then you will feel the sharpness and smoothness.

@@J8D2 I think it’s to make the blade last longer in terms of sharpness and performance. Also the sharpness of the blade won’t be effected as much when using shaving soap. I assume it works the same as Teflon used on cars to help the coating last longer.

I had written Voskhod off about a year ago because when paired with milder razors like the Merkur 34C or the Edwin Jagger DE89 they seemed comparatively ineffective, however, I just tried them again with my new Futur adjustable. This is where Voskhods really shine because I can crank up the aggressiveness to setting 4 without worry of easily nicking myself. With Personas on setting 4, I have to be really careful. I mean you should always be careful, but the Voskhods are definitely more forgiving while still getting the job done. I'm really glad that I decided to revisit this gems!

Its because of the coating. The Voskhod are actually sharper on the second shave. The first shave only wears the coating out so the bevel is doing an even better job. These blades are fantastic.

Great review Nick. I was laughing during the video because your experience with Voskhod blades has been mine as well. I've used them about 5 times now and every time on the first pass I'm not impressed and feel like they aren't doing a good job. Then on pass 2 and 3 they just really shine and every time I'm done with the 3rd pass I'm amazed at how well they did. Like I posted on your IG, I don't think I really understood what "smooth" really meant until I tried these. I have coarse hair and really sensitive skin, so I usually have to use really sharp blades. I don't get it either, but these Voskhods just work miracles without "feeling" overly sharp. They may be my go to blade after a few more shaves.

I love Voskhods. I use them in a mild blue tip Superspeed, and my experience is like yours: At first, I found them feeling not terribly sharp, and wondered how effective they would be. I actually felt a bit of tugging. But by the end of my shave, I found they had delivered excellent results, with no cuts, nicks, or irritation, even when I used the most adventurous of angles. I have 600 of them now!

He said “you might think they’re mild but they’re not” - he gave me a sharpness test result as well that he’d done on the blade So I tried it with 3 day growth - lo & behold this blade plowed it all down I also used quite an aggressive razor - blade gap .8 - no nicks, no bruises it’s 2020 & I’m still using Voskhod - I consider this perfect for me & like you said “it’s all subjective”

The Voskhod are a very good performer and a great value. The 100 pack was $18 on Amazon. I know they can be found cheaper on E-bay. I really like Voskhod in my Merkur HD 37C (slant). This is my favorite razor and this blade seems to perform very well, for me, with this razor. Thanks Nick for the review.

I found a decent deal on a 100 pack of these and just tried them out in my Merkur 38C with a Stirling soap. It felt like it was tugging and pulling everywhere on my face and the sensation didn't clear up with subsequent passes. I succeeded in chewing my neck up pretty well and it still left a lot of stubble which I very carefully cleaned up with my Phoenix DOC and a Feather blade without any issue. I'll try the Voskhod again in the Merkur and a few other razors (and perhaps change the soap/cream) but as of right now I've had vastly superior results from Astra platinums in the 38C and Feathers in the Phoenix DOC.

As you’ve undoubtedly heard since the video was posted in 2015 these blades are usually sharper on the second shave than the first because of the Teflon coating wearing off the edge. Most of the time I notice the first pass feels dull in comparison to consecutive passes just like you experienced. 😊 And some type of coating is mandatory when the blades are carbon steel which is very prone to rust. Before stainless became mainstream many blades were coated in some type of preservative to protect them in storage. Thanks for your awesome videos! They’ve been very helpful since I started my wet shave adventures about a year ago.

As always, great video and thoughtful review. Voskhod had been one of my go-to blades for a long time. With my most recent purchase (about 6 months ago) I noticed a dramatic change. I may have just gotten a bad batch or perhaps there has been a change in manufacturing. In my opinion they are now far less sharp and comfortable. I'll probably give them another shot down the road but for now my Polsilvers and Astras can't be beat!

Voskhods Excellent blades. These are the most forgiving blades I own and if I am going to use a razor that I know is over my shave Number 4 to 4.5 on the one to ten aggression scale I will always pull out a Voskhod and I will not cut myself ... These are my most trusted blades but not my only good blade. Voskhods are Killer good in my RR German 37 Slant for one but also great in my Game Changer .84 and in my Yaqi Flipside Razor. BTW I just ordered 100 for $7.99 Free Shipping Amazon Prime... You have to love that ~! Kit

Great review as always, Nick! - never stop! Yep the Voskhod is one of my go-to's along with most all of the Rapira range. They are a seriously smooth shave and I think are fairly close to the Personna Lab (for my face at least) - I would give the Personna an edge for sharpness. Rapira brand blades including this one are abundant on Ebay and the price is right. - from Russia with love. Voshkods go well in a 'mad-man razor' like the Merkur Futur. It teams well. Another strong point for guys with complex beard patters - it allows you to maneuver the blade a few ways in a pass to catch those errant 'hard to pick up whiskers sans the irritation.

As far as I know Mostochlegmash which is shortened for , if translated into English, stands for Moscow precise light machinery, fended off a takeover bid from Gillette thus being an independent producer of various shaving things. The company runs a Swedish made production line. By the way, whereas Rapira blades, except for Swedish super steel are widely available, Voskhod's an Ladas' though being produced in Moscow are extremely hard to come by here, you get them only through the internet or some every selected shops, weird.

These blades aren't as sharp as the Astra Platinum, but their performance is very good. Comparable to the USA made Personna blades, maybe just a step above. I used this blade in my Merkur 34C with very acceptable results, but their best performance was realized with my Merkur 39C slant. In fact these are my "go to" blades with that razor. I found the Voskhod blades on Amazon at a very reasonable price, but you have to shop around as some of the vendors that sell them at a higher price than others.

The Teflon coating is what makes them especially smooth. The reason some kitchen knives are Teflon coated ( or some have indentations on the side of the blade) is to keep food - perhaps tomato slices - from sticking to the blade, giving you smoother slicing. Think of a nonstick pan, how w/ even a shot of Pam the food can slide and glide. That doesn't happen in a stainless pan.

Seems like these are a good candidate for daily shaver blades, maybe in a more aggressive razor. I've never used them but from what Nick said, they aren't super sharp as say, a Feather Hi-Stainless which I would never use as a daily shaver. They're just way too sharp. I would use a Feather in a milder razor, like maybe Edwin Jagger DE89 or a Gillette Super Speed, and only if I had a few days growth. I've been looking for a good daily shaver blade so I might have to give these a look.

These blades didn't work for me at all and I tried them in several different razors. They tugged and pulled to the point where my eyes watered. The only comfortable shave I ever got with these blades was in my 37C slant and it was only the first shave. But that company does make my personal favorite blades which are Perma-Sharps.

Nick, could you review gillete 7 'o'clock super platinum (known as Gillette black) My experience is they're a decently sharp blade, but incredibly smooth. I'd love to see your opinion on them.

Been asking for this since the beginning since he started the series. I've tried up to 25 different blades and those Gillette blacks are the best out of any I've tried. Personnas, astras, personna Reds, feathers. Name it I've used it. The blacks are sharper than the personnas and smoother than the astras. It's nuts. Those are my go to blades. I'm Indian also and I thought they would be horrible due to the fact they are made in India. I mean I live in Vegas but everytime I've been there i just see shoddy work but to my surprise they are the best I've ever tried.

Abhi K. I cant agree more, following nicks advise on blades I ordered 100 Personas due to high reviews and praise, but after 3-4 shaves i realized those blades just dont work for me, It feels and looks like im shaving with a peice of glass, I eventually asked my barber what blades he tends to use and he pointed me at the gilette blacks and even gave me a pack to try and i havnt looked back - I hope to see these blades on this series soon.

nice review i like the way you can quantify the feeling you sense during the shave i'm working on paying more attention so i can do the same instead of a blanket liked or hated them i've used voskhod blades and liked them got mine from IB in a russian blade sampler a long while ago thought the swedish steel blades were the best of the bunch on my skin back then polsilver and gillette yellows are my usual go to blades but i mix it up quite a bit and go back to blades i tried years ago funny that i still don't like most of the blades i hated but they don't hurt me any more like they used to better skills over the years and probably awesome soaps currently make a huge difference btw, as far as i know, all blades are teflon or ptfe coated whether they name it or not thanks Nick hope you don't tire of this anytime soon

How about a review of the Personna Reds (Israel)? I know those blades get a lot of love on the Badger and Blade forum. They're supposed to be quite smooth. Never used them myself, but would love to hear what you think regardless.

I'm thinking these would be good in an aggressive razor or an adjustable in a higher setting. These may be my next blade purchase when I get low on personna's.

Chris Kelly84 The scent is supposedly based off of Irish Tweed by Creed which is amazing. All of their soaps are amazing and the scent does not effect the performance like some soaps. You will definitely love it, I shaved this morning with the Bay Rum and wow. Cheers!!

Sharper isn't always better. I get irritation from Feather blades and not as close as most blades. How would you rate these blades in the neck area as my beard is thick and gives me a grey shadow even with a bbs shave. Feather gave me razor burn and I feel like these are in-between a nacet and a Feather in regards to sharpness. Did you ever do AGT? Did they improve after the 1st shave? Feathers deteriorated quickly.

Nice review, Nick! I'm hoping to be getting a pack of these soon for my birthday along with a new open comb razor. Do you think these would match well? I'm currently using a EJ DE89. As always, enjoy your videos. Please keep them up. I'm always learning and picking up new tricks from your videos that incorporate in my own shaves. Still having a problem with irritation when I shave, but I'm hoping I'll discover the right mix of razor, blade, and soap.
