New guy with questions. Going back to safety razors and want a nice one.

What you need next is a sample pack with a variety of different blades. After you figure out which blade you like best, buy 100 of them to knock down the price per blade. If you're buying other stuff from one of the online shaving shops, get their sampler pack. Otherwise, have a look at these:

I suspect you’re going to enjoy that Nodachi. I certainly enjoy mine. Nice choice.

Good choice. FWIW, I’m very fond of my Masamune SB. For me, weight and balance are about perfect, and the shave is super smooth. (The OC is way too aggressive to suit me.)
