I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Russian Made Perma-Sharp Double Edge Blades. They’re packaged in a cardboard tuck. Each blade is wrapped in paper and contained in a DE Blade-sized paper envelope. I decided to test them by using three blades in three different razors that varied in aggressiveness. Starting with the Dreadnought Spartan DE Razor, Merkur 37C Slant Bar, and finally the Muhle R41 Rosegold Razor.

Gear for One of the Shaves with the Merkur 37C |
The last shave in this experiment was with the Muhle R41 Rosegold razor. As with the other shaves, I had about a day and a half to two days of stubble. While I really like the Muhle open tooth comb razor, I feel that it is probably one of the more aggressive razors that I’ve used. As with the first shave session, it felt as if were slightly tugging towards the end of the second shave. I didn’t make the same mistake as I did with the 37C of trying for a third shave especially since it is a rather aggressive razor.

All in all my experience with this blade was positive. I found that it wasn’t as sharp as a Feather but probably a hair (no pun intended) sharper than my normal Crystal DE Blades. Considering that I had a rather nice shave with the Sir Hair Shave oil, I’d most likely use a pre-shave oil when using this razor blade; particularly when using a more aggressive razor. Though, I doubt I would use it after two of my shaves. Of course … as with all things wet shaving, Your Mileage May Vary.
