I have been looking into some stuff and for now the Philips oneblade looks like the most interesting option to me, does someone maybe have experience with it? How long do the blades last? Or are there any other alternatives you would recommend?

I don't know if buying Russian Made Blades (St. Petersburg) owned by an American Company (Procter&Gamble) in 2025 misses a bit the point

The Astra Superior Platinum blades that I buy are made in India. (Not sure if the photo is going to post correctly, we'll see.) From what I can tell, Gillette stopped manufacturing in Russia, or the importation has stopped with the trade embargoes.

That said, those are the blades that I like. OP can also use Feather, made in Japan, which is supposed to very slightly sharper/more aggressive than Astra Superior Platinum.

No they are still active in Russia
