Nope. All my blades are Russian, British and American Spoilers, I have a lifetime supply until I’m dead.

Thanks SpeedyPC, I've been wondering how much difference it makes. All my experience has been with the Russian versions.

I think most Russian blades made by P&G are made in the same factory have different labels on them and are identical. With that said they are great.

Not quite, Gillette Yellow, Polsilver/Wizamet and Voskhod and lots of others came from the same PPI factory, but are quite different from each other. Many of them are now being produced now in India and China, and the Indian blades have lately been getting a very good press.

Just noticed this thread tonight
And I have already done the comparison.

I’ve been using Astra platinum’s for many years as a daily blade. I still have a box and a half of Russian blades.
I recently purchased a box of Indian made Astra blades to do my own comparison.

And honestly, in more than a dozen different razors. (open comb, safety bar and slant head)
In my opinion, there is no noticeable difference between the Indian and the Russian ones.

Cheers all.
