I am very happy with my feather blades: https://www.amazon.com/Feather-Hi-stainless-Double-Blades-Remove/dp/B00BDM0XZG/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=japanese+feather+safety+razor&qid=1596782007&sr=8-3 https://www.amazon.com/Feather-Hi-stainless-Double-Blades-Re... They are coated in platinum, each blade lasts about a week, and when I bought my 100 pack, it was 25 cents per blade, although now it's up 38 cents on Amazon. For the razor, I also use a feather razor, about $160, which is expensive, but one will last a lifetime. https://www.amazon.com/Feather-Stainless-Steel-Double-Edge-AS-D2/dp/B004E5GV82/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=japanese+safety+razor&qid=1596782098&sr=8-2 https://www.amazon.com/Feather-Stainless-Steel-Double-Edge-A... YMMV, but the feather razor is extremely safe and easy to use, although you don't have the same level of control as with other razors. It's a good beginner's razor but I've stuck with it. Shaving is dead simple, I never get cuts, and I don't even use any shaving cream, I shave after getting out of the shower and the hairs are already soft.
