Okay bought a starter pack online that bundled basically everything i need to start off, and bought some a soap online too.

So in this pack is a choice of 4 blades

10x Supermax (blue packet)
5x 7Am (green packed)
5X Wilkinson Sword (white packet)
5x Derby extra (usual green packet)

so which should I try first for my first ever Safety Razor shave? which is most forgiving?

Thank you.
 
Might as well go: eenee meenee meinee mo..just because no 2 faces are alike including your dad or granddad..go with your gut and DON'T assume a blade is your favorite based on it's first use..make that choice on the 2nd or 3rd complete shave...UNLESS: It pulls or tugs..also go to YouTube and look for blade stropping...tames some blades harshness to make easier on your face

if you need some good videos go to YouTube and look for Mantic59. Great guy who has showed many of us including myself what our grandfathers used abd how.

Good Luck!

Just try the lot. It's a fun journey.

If you really want to do some homework, take a look at this:

Blade stropping is great. I used to have a bad first shave on Astra's and after I stropped, it's a really nice blade from the first shave :)
