Hand planes made today that are sold in big box stores are Chinese junk.
Good ones are stupidly expensive.
Think Lee Valley. Think Lie Nielsen. Think Wood River. etc.
I have heard that a "Made in India" plane. is a good alternative. When the Brits pulled out of India, they left the machinery and toolmaking knowledge behind on plane-making.
Lastly, flea markets, yard sales, etc. I cannot stress enough just what a Golden age on planes that the late 1800s and early 1900s were. A Stanley from that time will stomp most any big box store plane to dust, in terms of quality and use. And even a rusted plane is pretty easy and very cheap to bring back to its glory.
You rarely need a new blade but they are still available as well.
