Blade recommendation.
Looking to get a DE razor for someone as a gift (they were very apposed to straight razor, maybe this will get them going in the right direction
). I picked out a nice razor. But I am completely lost when it comes to blades. As I have read feather seems to be the sharpest, but not best for beginners. What is a good brand that will provide a better shave than a cartage. Thanks!
Just incase it matters I am going to get them the Mühle R89 Grande Razor.

If it was me, I would buy a sample pack. That way they can try different blades to see which one they like better.

Yep, look up the blade sampler packs from WCS, Bullgoose, etc. That's the best way to go for a person new to DE razors.
