Darn, just as I think my RAD has been cured with a slim adjustable, this thread comes up.
These razors are quite intruiging and a decent user grade Gem Micromatics seems very easy to find for not too much money.

I had said about a month ago that I was done with purchasing razors. I really thought that I was until I shaved with a SE.
I have done a complete 180 on what I like out of a razor, I thought that I preferred a very aggressive razor, as that was what was giving me the best shaves. The truth is I just prefer a more efficient razor, and that I have found with SE's.
Yesterday I had a bad shaving experience with the 2011 R41, so I needed a mild razor for today. I broke out the Heavy Flat Top, also know as a G-Bar, and had one of he gretest mild, yet efficient DFS shaves in two passes.
The more I shave with SE's, the less I find a need for any of my DE's.
Plus, really, can you find too many razors with such a cool art-deco vibe?
I just love this razor.
Some like the stainless, while others prefer the carbon steel blades. I much prefer the carbon steel blades, namely the Treet, Gem Blue Star and the CVS brand. Some guys like the PAL blue carbon blades but I've not had much luck with them. You'll just have to try a couple different kinds to see which you prefer.
Noooo... This thread will ruin good deals on SE razors. Soon others will realize how great they are.
I'm definitely a LOSER for my Schick injectors, ER 1924, and Gem G-bar. All phenomenal shavers.
I hope to pick up an ER 1912 and 1914 since 2012 and 2014 are big years for me.
I've never even thought about SE till my brother became the self appointed evangelist and LOSER founder....thats all he ever talks about....LOL....Getting a little SERAD myself...the streamlines look awesome!!
I'm right there with you, Arley. As I've stated before, my dad used SEs only and I'm understanding why. The firm spine and rigid SE blade is much similar to a straight razor than a DE blade.I had said about a month ago that I was done with purchasing razors.

I really like the Ted Pella blades that I just got as part of the group buy, but I admit I like the Walgreen GEM/Persona Blades almost as much.
I'm 100% confident that the GEM blades from walgreens are the same blades as the ted pella's. I dont have a microscope to compare, but they look and feel the same to me.
My Treet SE.
Actually not as good for shaving as my 1912 chain handle, which is my daily razor, but it is cool looking anyway!
