My made in Canada razor came. It's an investment, but can finally get away from those expensive American-made blades. (lemmy.ca)

Just be careful! Many decent double-edge blades have historically been made in Russia or the US, usually under licence of Gillette. I recommend Feather blades which are Japanese and premium quality.

You can add Israel to the shitlist as well, i believe (Personna blades)

Edit: conflicting info online at a cursory search: some used to be made in israel but are now made in germany?

Where do you recommend buying them? I got my last pack ages ago on Amazon (before I shitlisted them), and they were pretty cheap.

Local shops only have some hipster brand, 10 blades for $10 or something, which is insane.

https://www.fendrihan.ca/ Canadian and they stock good stuff! I've dealt with their customer service before and they are very helpful.

I’ve shopped there before but they seem to have stock issues. Pretty much everything is out of stock right now. Not confidence inspiring.

The RK blades that ship with the Henson Razor are made in India.
