Just got my safety Merkur long handle couple days ago.. It only came with the one starter blade was wondering on what blade would be a good choice to go for next... I am new to DE shaving.. I don't really see any at local stores except Walmart I rather buy a 100 pack or so online seems much smarter:)
When I first started shaving with a DE I really enjoyed some of the sample packs you can get online. And you get to see what blade you're face likes. :DQuote:

You will find with a DE the biggest challenge is mating the correct blade with the razor which will vary according to your beard. So, you just have to experiment with blades to find the correct combination. The sample packs are the best way to do this.
Really I had no idea this was the case .. That is some really appreciated information if not I thought any blade could just be the same for all SRQuote:
