Gem blades?

[humber burns]

Was out at the antique stores today and picked myself up my very first GEM! Not realizing that it takes SE blades (because I was out looking for DEs and saw it at a good price.) My question is can anyone recomend a good SE blade? I know there really isn't much out there in terms of choice.

Also if there are any fellow Canadian GEM users out there that can tell me of a B&M place I can pick em up that'd be awesome. I'm really excited to give it a try!

Oh almost forgot I picked up a Micromatic (and yes I've heard some of the horror stories involving this razor.)

The GEM Personna Super Stainless are available in many of the large chain drug stores in the US. Here they are on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Gem-Personna-...=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1246628508&sr=1-12

I don't think you should have trouble finding blades. If the big places fail, call around to all the small places that have pharmacies and chances are good that at least one will have them. IIRC I haven't heard of any Canadian members having trouble finding blades after they started looking.
The Micromatics are my favorite GEM. A gentile touch and plenty of concentration are all that's needed to give you outstanding results. Good luck!
