I'm guessing you mean the blades that came with your micro touch razor..  You can use those or you can use a pack of Wilkinson Swords..a pack of 10 is less than 2.00 at Walmart.
Even when the d is removed, the devil is still evil.

Thanks. Should I have bought a different type of razor like Fusion instead of the DE razor first time head shave. What is the best cream or soap to lather with the brush? Also, best blades for the Microtouch one? I will probably buy one from Walgreen or online somewhere

I was using the Mach 3 on my face at the time I started shaving my head, so I just went with that. Once I moved on to a DE I had to learn a new technique.  I would imagine that it'd probably best to start with a DE because you you don't have to break cartridge razor habits (like extra pressure on the razor) like I had to.

As far as soaps go, one of my go to's is the Proraso Shave soap in a tub for sensitive skin (white jar).  Personally, I like the scent and feel I get a decent lather.
