Soviet razors on Ebay and websites.
I just bought two straight razors from Flea Ba, both advertised as being from the former Soviet Union.
I saw on Reddit that such were good razors and a guy on Youtube did a shave test and he liked them.
What do you guys say?

I've noticed them recently but I don't have any experience with them.

I don't think I've run into any bad vintage blades that weren't bad as a result of someone ruining them. Any specifics on the blades you're referring to?

Had a Ruskie given to me and it took a fine edge and shaved well. No idea if they are all mostly like that.

I got a Stiz several years ago. It is a good shaver.
There is nothing pretty about it though. Satin finish and plain black scales.Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead - Charles Bukowski

Communism has never been known for "style" beyond "working every time."
As soon as I get these I'll try to send them off for honing and get a report out, preferably with pics now that I have found my camera.
