Wether American or not, switching away from those dumb disposable razors was the best choice of my life. I got my blades from Japan and haven't bought a new bundle in 3 years.
What blades do you use?
I swear by Kai, they work incredibly well for me.
Not op but I'm a big feather guy. Great blades. Haven't tried Kai though.
Kai is a bit different than other brands
They come more dull than feathers and they’re a thicker gauge steel than other blades use. I still find them plenty sharp though.
The thicker steel is what I think makes them good for me. My beard hairs are very heavy and thick, so thicker steel reduces vibrations as it cuts giving me a more reliable shave.
I generally use each blade 6 times, which is good longevity for a blade.
I also kinda like that they’re no frills. No laser etching or waxy drops on the blades. Feels like something Ron Swanson would use.
