The only blade that I can consistently get to shave No. 3 with and not have pulling is BIC Chrome Platinum.
Also right up there are BIC Chrome Platinum.
Go with the BIC Chrome Platinum, but also look for several different Gillette brands: PermaSharp, Nacet, Silver Blue, and 7 O’Clock yellow. All are top quality blades.
Also look for BIC Chrome Platinum or Treet Platinum. Any of those blades will serve you well.
BIC Chrome Platinum... Any of those blades should work.

Nothing comes close to the Blackbird in my opinion. It’s THE razor when it comes to ultra smoothness and efficiency.
Also be sure to check out Bad Sisters and Blackbird.
After about 10 shaves with the Blackbird, I think that this is one of the few razors that totally lives up to the hype. It's making me consider selling most of my DEs.
Recommend the Oliworks titanium(comes with 3 plates), Timeless .68 OC or .95 OC with crown handle. Blackbird and blackbird lite Ti. They are all different but great shavers.
A lighter SS such as a Game changer or Lupo or blackbird or Apex Plus would work but titanium may be something to consider if you want lighter depending on budget.
