Help with bulk SE blades

[GreekGuy]

Which of these blades are suitable for shaving? Is it only the extra keen ones? The ones that also come in the dispenser? Anyone have experience with the carbon steel blades that can comment? Including the item # would be extraordinarily helpful

Thanks!

I've used just about every "shaving" SE blade (and a couple of box cutter blades... Don't do this... fair warning)...

I find that the PTFE coated stainless steel GEM blades perform the best for me.

They seem to last longer for me (3-4 more shaves out of them than the carbon blades).

They also do not require as much care as the carbon blades do (both in storage and in use)

Thanks for the reply!

Are those 71970 in the link above?

I've tried the stainless Gem ones but only got maybe 3 shaves from the blade, and they actually rust pretty fast here in La Jolla. I'm thinking I may just start storing the in-use blade in Alcohol

Yes the 71970 from that supply house is the 100 count carton of PTFE coated stainless just like the Gem code # 62-0165 ones in the photo I posted. The 71970 is their in-house/SKU number for the same blade.

I do not have a coarse beard and I do get more shaves out of a blade than many. The PTFE coated stainless last me 10-14 days and the carbon ones last me 6-8 days
