Going to get 100 shark platinum or bic chrome platinum. Both have given me a full weeks shave 6 days with no problems. Bics seem sharper. Maybe get both?

Wouldn't that be "Flic your BIC"? Or am I showing my age?I'm not a big fan of Sharks so I'd hit the BIC. Welcome to B&B!

Liked your post. ThxDon't listen to me.
I bought a Merkur HD and 100 Astra SP blades right out of the gate. Both got a LOT of love here and elsewhere as good, middle-of-the-road, play-in-safe shaving tools.
And you know what? They both work just fine. Well enough for me to be confident that if I never bought another blade, I could get 6 good, smooth, irritation-free shaves out of the Astra blades, and I now own hundreds.
I've moved on to a different razor (and have many yet to try) but to be consistent, I always start with an Astra blade since I kind of know what to expect from the blade...it's become my baseline blade.
I've since bought other, sharper blades (currently using a Bic Chrome Platinum) but the nice thing is that for $10-15 you can still try a bunch for little investment.
None of this means you shouldn't get a sampler, but I haven't tried 50 different blades and am perfectly happy with the handful that I have tried, and have yet to regret spending $15 on 100 blades. Maybe it's purely my inexperience, and ignorance - not knowing how much better or worse things could be...so to be safe, I refer you back to the very first sentence in this post.
