great shave [SEP] The only thing better that I have tried is the PolSilver Super Iridium, but those are licensed by Gillette and more expensive, because of the rare metal, they last a long time.  However, these Russian blades are most excellent, and I can afford to swap out blades often to avoid potential skin problems.  They are as good a shave as any I've tried, and they leave my face very smooth.  I tried 2 blades in a sampler  pack and was sold, I ordered off for a pile of them.
