its kinda hard getting blades here in my town (i live in Brazil btw) and with the whole rona thing it became infernal so my blade decided that it was an excellent time to start cracking, and as a replacement for it i have the following options
Galaxy J-1 Ayous
Galaxy 986 Carbon
Galaxy 987
729 Friendship C-3
Palio Energy 03
Galaxy 985

ive only tried j1 ayous, very slow but nice feeling blade, very thick as well, quite a nice feeling while playing but being too thick, not for everyone

If you are looking for a blade, and an inexpensive one at that, this is what I consider the king of the cheap blades:

And it's NOT because it's the cheapest of them all, either... I play with these blades. Surely they can ship to Brazil?

never mind i found the same model in another site, thank you very much

hum... and which rubbers do you feel like would go well on it ?

i would recommend mid fast rubber like xiom vega , rakza 7 etc. it is rather slow i paired it with 729 rubber back then, so not a good choice if u pair with slow.
But then again i would recommend other blades for beginners like sanwei m8, any 5 ply which is medium fast would do, or if ur adventerous clipper based blade, 7 ply limba. then you can pair it with slow rubbers like reactor corbor which is cheap, slow rubbers and chinese made are mostly cheaper than others in market, try this brands for a start- reactor, friendship, yinhe, dhs (double happiness) , the dhs is more mid tier and high performance rubber out of all- but i have tried most of the brands through frens bats it is playable and high quality stuffs.

do you think it would be any good with short pips on it ? (the pips being 802-40 at 1.8mm)
