I'm still new. I've used Schick Type E injectors lots, and I've had a good round of first shaves with some GEM razors. I don't know if SE has an advantage over DE. SE is different, more edgey; and so, fun. I've learned lots from SE that can't be learned from DE. I think my time with SE has increased my understanding, and enjoyment, of DE shaving. I think that SE, generally, offers a closer shave than DE. And you don't have to turn an SE razor as you shave, and SE blades last twice as long as DE blades; so less fussy that way. Also, I would like to try straight-razor shaving at some point, and I think SE shaving may be a good intermediate step for that.Hi all new to the forum and stumbled on this thread so I guess my question is obviously they don’t use the DE blades I’m guessing. What is the advantage of a single edge razor over a double edge? not trying to be a smart *** or anything like that, I’ve just never seen these razors before that I know of and am genuinely curious. It seems with DE you would get more life out of a blade. So help me understand the +/- of these razors.
