Anyone use the Treet SE blades from CVS? I have a micromatic that I haven't tried yet, and got a pack of these.

sorry, the gem ones you want are the GEM PTFE coated blades, I had not seen the carbon steel ones. You probably will also want the stainless injector blades. Interested in splitting an order of the gem blades?
How do the GEM's compare to Ever-Ready's? I recently got a very cool looking English Ever-Ready in an eBay lot. I'll have to get some blades for it one of these days.

Josh the Gem G bar is the best one for a newbie. The Micromatic is good too but some people, even experienced Gem users, have problems with them so be careful. If you researched previous threads about the Gem you will see that I have been a Gem advocate for a long time.
Hold it against your face and let it glide. If you are holding it anything like a standard DE you are doing it incorrectly.
Place the top flat against your face and angle it just so the blade contacts the skin at a cutting angle. The base of the handle should be almost perpendicular i.e. sticking straight out relative to your face at all times. Yeah it feels odd but the GEM is a natural at this angle and you'll soon get used to it. I'll have to look and see if I've got any GEM razor instructions I can scan for you.
