I have been using a safety razor for about 4 months now. I have exclusively used Van der Hagen blades (with the exception of a single Vincent) because I had a large pack of them. However, several of you suggested tryablade.com to easily explore which blades I actually like. Hint: it's not the VDH blades. Haha. So I figured I would document my quest here and if anyone has any opinions or suggestions they are all welcome. Below are the blades that I ordered. If I missed any gems please let me know.
I will follow with my thoughts on my first blade used out of this bundle.
