Razor options for Merkur Futur-Goodbye HBs

LeatherHelmets:
The cost of buying HB 4's for my HB ATX has risen over the last 4 years.  Today it would cost 49.00 USD to buy 4 blades packaged off  Mx, and that's with free shipping.  Mexico has a 16% tax, along with import fees.

So as of today I'm on my last HB 4.   I use Astra SP with my Merkur for face shaving.  A little too sharp for my head though, after a "good gouge"
So any recommendations on a milder blade for the Merkur for head shaving.
Thanks.

The Astra SP is my go to blade for headshaving. Very seldom get a kick with them. I tried the Feather blades as I heard they were sharper, and I don't like them. Always seem to get a kick with the Feathers. I use a 1954 Gillette Tech double edge.

LeatherHelmets:
Thanks for feedback, I may end up just staying with the Astra SP, take my time.   Live with some blood.

Coincidentally, I use a 1954 Gillette super speed , but only on my face. It was my fathers, and he’s been gone since 1967. My first DE is lost and gone.

My personal advice is to not shave your head with a DE . It takes a lot longer and extreme care for that purpose. I personally use a 2 blade disposable andhave no problem at all. Barbasol disposable is sharp and I can get 10 shaves with it.
