Derbys have been the most forgiving for me. I would start with those.
I agree totally.
I tried the Derbys First then now I'm on the IPs
This is my usual suggestion.
Derby
Israeli
Merkur
Swedish Gillette
Feather
Note that this is not in order of sharpness or smoothness. This is my own personal opinion of how to best try the blades without hurting yourself. As you get your technique down, you can move onto blades that aren't as smooth or are sharper.

I found the Derbys to be forgiving as well, however I do love the Merkurs once you get technique down.
After a my first week of wet shaving with Merkurs, I was ready to throw everything away and curse the person who recommended the change. Said person threw a Derby 5 pack my way and after the first shave with them I was 100% sold. I was amazed at the difference in the blades. 
I like the Derby's best with my SS
