What's new

I changed my mind

I like my GEM Jr. I decided to look up "DE vs. SE" on Google and found posts here. Many mentioned how good it was for just WTG shaves. Now, I have a very very very sensitive face, so one wrong touch with a DE and it's as if I burnt my whole face. So, I hate doing ATG or even XTG passes most of the time. Well, I decided to try the SE and sure enough ONE WTG pass was enough for me to be quite happy. So, I'll not be selling it and in fact will use it much more. Of course, what does this mean for the DEs? :lol: Nah, I still love that Blue Tip and Tech, so they must be used! Plus, I have a HUGE issue with these SE blades...I got them at Rite-Aid and they rust if you touch them wrong. I dry them and everything, and they still rust! As far as I know, there isn't anywhere nearby that has the stainless ones either.
 
Yeah, with SE I only go WTG, two passes usually, and get a damn fine shave every time.

Get yourself some GEM stainless steel ptfe coated blades.

PM my your mailing address and I will send you a few stainless SE blades from the B&B Group Buy that Brian did for us a while back.

Enjoy your shaves.

I have tried ATG and it is VERY VERY close. May not be worth risking every time :lol: But, last time I used it, my face was scratched a lot. Imagine dog or cat scratches all over your face :lol: But I would definitely say it's a nice change...sadly means I may need to spend more money, too :lol:
 
It's a great razor for sure :thumbup: Honestly, I'd prefer a metal handle, though. The Bakelite is kinda cool, though!

That's pretty much what I think about my Schick Type E. As far as my SE razors, I prefer the metal handle of my Ever-Ready 1912.
 
Can you recommend a good GEM with a metal handle? I like the GEM Jr. but want another handle!
 
Thanks guys, I'm getting one :lol: Thankfully they aren't expensive! Plus, I think I just landed a gold one and I love me a gold razor :thumbup:
