Bought the SE razor...need blades, and advice.

[Blackie]

The Hawk is on its way with some blades.
But I need 'more'.
Where do you Aus folks get your blades? From razorbladesclub?
Or can you get them locally? Or Amazon, ebay, etc?
Do the Supply razor blades fit? I have read the blades are the same dimension (but are they any good?).
Or...do I put a 'want to buy' listing up to catch any dregs that some of you may have floating around?
Any advice re good blades, bad blades is most welcome.
Bugger...you lot have led me down another rabbit hole! But I'm sure it will be fun, and will have a happy ending.

Two words: Connaught Shaving. Yes, it's the UK, but they're quick and don't overcharge for postage.

My favourite is Schick Proline, but Kai Captain Titan Mild and Proshave S are good too. I can send you a few to try if you'd like.

Plus 1 for Connaught. Schick P30 & Proshae S are my 2 tops thanks to the sample set @Gargravarr sent me, 3 AC razors ago so yes a ''Rabbit Hole"

Thanks for the offer (much appreciated), but I'll be fine.
I have some Feather Professional, and Feather Professional Super coming with the razor.
Have bought 20 Kai Captain Original, and 20 Kai Captain Titan Mild (Pink?) from razorbladesclub.
I will check out Connaught now.
Many thanks.

I can't get on to Connaught as 'Fortiguard' browser security won't allow it.
Calls it a phishing site.
How do you folks manage?

By using a better browser. Brave (based on Chrome) and Firefox have no problem with it.

Edit: just read that Fortiguard is a filter. Just turn it off, it's overreacting.

Forgot to mention that if you decide to order the Schick Prolines, make sure to get the P-30, not the B-20. The latter is shorter, made for injector razors.

 

[Blackie]

Nope, nothing I can see to turn off Fortiguard.
Can't get to Connaught.
EDIT: I fired off a request to Fortinet, and they have removed the block on Connaught.
Now I can have a play.

 

[Gargravarr]

Weird that they should have blocked it in the first place. Connaught has an impeccable reputation, and has had for years.

 

[Blackie]

Maybe a competitor put in a complaint? Called it a phishing site?
It's now listed as a 'Shopping site'.

 

[Blackie]

Well, I was like a kid in a lolly store (Connaughts).
But I restrained myself and only bought 90 Schick Proline P30 blades.
I guess that should last a few weeks?
Good price for the postage too.

Lately I've been finding a Proline blade will last at least 8 shaves (3 pass, head+face), which is a lot of acreage. Of course, YMMV depending on prep, etc. Hope you like them
