This is my razor and brush (I didn't get them from Amazon but they are available):
Edwin Jagger DE89L - £24
Progress Vulfix 404 Grosvenor Mixed Badger and Boar Bristle Shaving Brush - £12.99
Plenty of shaving soaps available. I am quite happy with the palmolive shaving cream in a tube which you can get on amazon but is also available in a lot of chemists and some supermarkets.
You will also need a selection of razor blades, because different blades work for different people. I know you were asking about Amazon, but the blade packs on there seem quite expensive. This pack from Connaught Shaving gives you 60 blades for £9.90
which is quite a bit cheaper than the ones I could find on Amazon.

I highly recommend this safety razor, I use it and it's great! Just be very careful when unscrewing it while it has a blade in, I've had a couple slip-ups.
Hey buddy, yep you're in the right place! What you're experiencing is most likely ingrown hairs, which can look a lot like pimples. I had the same issue which is what led me to this sub and traditional wetshaving.
A couple things can help... First off, make sure to map the growth pattern of your beard (don't shave for a few days to get an idea). The general recommendation is to shave with the grain (WTG) first, then you can do additional passes across the grain (XTG) and against the grain (ATG). Some guys just can't go ATG without getting irritation and/or ingrown hairs.
Consider switching to shaving with a traditional double edge (DE) razor like this one. You'll also need a brush and soap (or cream), some DE blades, and perhaps a nice aftershave balm. Make sure to watch some tutorials on Youtube - I enjoyed Michael Freeberg and Nick Shaves.
Check out Connaughtshaving.com in the UK, or Maggardrazors.com has very decent shipping rates from the US. The Maggard starter kits are highly regarded around here. Feel free to check with us before purchasing because there's a lot of low quality crap out there, especially on Amazon.
In the meantime, I found tea tree essential oil to work wonders on ingrown hairs. Two drops on a cotton swab, dab it on, let it dry. You can also mix honey, sugar, and olive oil for a great exfoliating face wash that wiĺl help immensely with getting rid of ingrowns in my experience... 1 tbsp each of sugar and raw honey, 1 tsp of olive oil. That's enough for maybe 3 or 4 uses.
I would recommend staying away from the Jagen David; it looks to be a re-branded Weishi.
If you're looking at amazon, here are my top choices for you:
Parker 24C
Muhle R89
Edwin Jagger DE89L
Edwin Jagger DE89
Edwin Jagger Kelvin
The Parker 24C is an open comb safety bar design and a good razor. The rest of them are all the same razor head on different handles, so pick the handle you like best. They have a straight safety bar rather than an open comb, and are also good shavers.
Both of these razor head designs are more modern and efficient than the Merkur 34C, or any Merkur razor, for that matter. You won't go wrong with any of them.
Hope that helps.
Amazon is your friend if you live in the UK.
(kind of a must for beginners)
One issue I came across when I was first starting out was that I couldn't find a blade sampler pack for the life of me. Just bought packs of 5 of every type of blade I could find and eventually settled on astras.
this one right?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Edwin-Jagger-DE89L-Detail-Chrome/dp/B005GO38ZY/
If I buy it how long can I expect it to last? I don't want to be paying £20 a year just for a replacement.
Is it really worth the investment (I am a student) ?
Sorry, you need UK vendors... I'm in the US, but here is my attempt at amazon uk links:
Razor
Brush
Soap
You will also need a blade sampler to see what blade matches your dad's face. You can get these on amazon, but they are a bit pricey, possibly someone else can chime in.
