Where do you get them from Rapha? 😲😂
A certain auction website for me, there's plenty of sellers who sell mixed packs of blades so that you can try different ones.

English Shaving Company, which is Edwin Jagger trading under a different name so they can sell other brands. They're based in Sheffield so I feel like I'm supporting local business. They will do you twenty packs of Derby blades at 40p a pack if it's low price you're after so 8p a blade. And they'll do various types of mixed pack.
I'll take a look thanks.

Kanzy safety razor is not too aggressive, good introduction to DE shaving. Under £10 Inc travel case

Yes I used them in the main. Tried both an open and closed comb DE razor, and prefer the closed. Personna blades I find work well for me and good balance of sharpness and keeping sharpness, over Feathers which are great new, but soon go off.

I'm not a shaving fan, even though I do like a close shave. It's more a chore than a pleasure, as this chap thinks it is.

That's where I get my razors and blades too. One extra shout out for them is that I broke one my Edwin Jagger razors - snapped the screw thread of the top bit when it was in my luggage. The did a new part for a fiver so I didn't have to buy the whole thing again
Old DE razor that's been used so much the makers name has been worn away. Astra blades atm.
Badger bristle brush with Mitchell's Wool Fat shaving soap which l find gives an amazing lather and lasts ages. I had a tablet last over a year once. Bought for me one Christmas and l was still using it come the next Christmas.

I'm using Bic 'sensitive' blades at the moment. I was on the 4 pack Aldi ones for a few years, but I don't shop in Aldi now so I'm on Bic razors now. They're not too wonderful and no way as close a shave as the Aldi ones. I have to go over my head about 3 or 4 times, whereas the Aldi ones did it in 2. The Bics also only last a week or so when I could use the Aldi ones a month. I think I might be going back to Aldi soon.
I've used Bic all my life, apart from trying a packet of Tesco own brand once, I don't nkow whether it's my imagination, but they seem to be wearing out quicker lately.
I grew a beard for the first time in my life this year, largely because I'm having difficulty shaving without cutting myself, but I got rid of it when it started getting itchy. It was getting a bit hot for a record breaking summer, too.

They'll send you a random sample pot with your order as well.
