If you worry about nicks get a mild razor
I recommends Rockwell 6C if you willing to invest and allow you to move from mild to aggressive.

Otherwise get a weishi 9306 and upgrade later or you could get a qshave futur clone. I find the head big and takes time to adjust for a newbie

6C seeems expensive for a zinc razor. I don't want after a few years the screw rust and break off.

All vintage Gillettes prior to WWII were of brass construction with gold, silver, or nickel plating which is why many have survived and is a testament to brass' durability.
During WWII, some razors were constructed of zinc alloy/zamak as the war effort lead to brass shotages. Zinc alloy razors will deteriorate and crumble once its protective plating is damaged.
The all brass Fatip Grande, Piccolo, and Testina Gentile razors can be had for around US$20.

That US$30 razor is a Rockwell 2C not the 6C. It comes with only a single baseplate. WCS' shipping is outrageous. They charge US$20 to ship a $30 razor.
Try Maggard.

Fendrihan sells full stainless steel razors at US$34.95/US$39.95 but they don't ship to Malaysia.

Anyone know where to buy loose pack of double edge blades? I don't want to buy blades by the carton/100s. I saw the Gillette Super Nacet blade at Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia but it is expensive at $5.67 per pack (5 blades).
