blame it on the alcoholI remember reading something that the Voskhod blades were just Sputniks re branded or vice versa. The Sputniks are in my top two de blades along with the Gillette Silver Blue blade. The only two blades I have bought a 100 pack of each since starting out............all right I bought 100 Derby's many moons ago but let's not get into that , we all do that.
It may well have been a late night Amazon purchase come to think of itblame it on the alcohol
...I have felt a harsh initial shave with the Sputnik so when starting a new blade I just strop the edge a few times on my denims or palm.
It works for me. My prep is fine and my gear is well.......the best of gear. It's definitely one of those YMMV things. I'm talking a few strokes on a soft smooth surface like the palm of your hand to smoothen what must be coating roughness on some of them that's all.Don't do that as you'll remove the coating which gives the smoothness. It was most likely either your prep or just sub-par soap/cream IMO. Sometimes we all get in a hurry.
...(can't remember which specific Rapiras I've tried offhand, I'll have to check my 'filing system')...
