I think I would agree with you there Sean,the Sputnik's and Voskhod's,are really my every day goto blades.cheap,cheerful,sharp,but extremely smooth,and work well in just about every razor I have tested them in,so to find out these Diamonds are pretty much the same was a nice surprise! (even though I only tried one in an yet untested 1930's - 40's,7 O'clock 'NEW' so far,I actually forgot I haven't shaved with it yet???).
I really did get an awesome shave though!,no exaggeration,I have been 'faceturbating' all day,and revelling in the close/smooth feeling...LOL!.And I didnt even bother with any AS!,just a squirt or 5 of Quorum EDT round the jowels after! (can still smell it now...Quorum...UMMMM!...LOL!),and 6 hours later,IM STILL AT IT!!!!.
I will be throwing a couple of small cream samplers (the only pots I got are small ones),and a hand full of blades into the Black-Jack (BJ...
) parcel,so,if you have any idea of blades you would like to try,let me know,cause I might have 'em!.If you dont,Im gonna send you some Murkurs.....LOL!
