Welcome @okononumiyaki i also prefer my yaqi brushes to high and low priced badgers and the one omega boar I had..
For your R95, this takes all blades I have used well but found the sharper the blade the better.. in saying that my favourite blades in this razor is the Gillette minora and Gillette yellow 7’Oclock sharp edge
