Several months back I received two 80s era Voskhod blades from @DrAwkward. Voskhod are one of my faves and I finally got around to trying them one after the other. My first blade I used for the 1 blade in Feb challenge and I knew from the start I was screwed. It was dull and very unsmooth, I think I only managed 3.5 shaves with it. Well, there must have been some degrading issues with time because the second blade fared much better. I got 15 quality shaves from the modern Voskhod without pushing it, and today I just finished #12 on the 80s era before chucking it. I pushed it just a bit farther than the modern one, and the last two shaves came with some tugging on my chin. I would say the current ones are definitely smoother, but the 80s may be a bit sharper. It cleaned up the burl areas on my neck with no problem, rarely needing a touchup after two passes, the current one needed the touchup each time. It was cool to try out one of my favorite blades from when I was possibly still in highschool, so a big thanks to @DrAwkward for his generousity!
