Okay so I bought a lot of 4 vintage safety razors on the Bay and one of them included a beautifully ugly "Ever Ready" SE razor. I don't know if I'm allowed to post questions about my other razors since they're DEs so I'll just focus on the SE razor. I was curious as to what model and year my razor is, and was confused about what blades to use on it since my DE blades obviously don't fit. I saw some pics of the SE razor blades and they look pretty much identical to the ones used in the older, steel 'box cutters' so I was wondering if they were in fact the same thing.
Here's a picture of my razors from the auction:
Here's two pictures of the razor for aiding me in identification:
And this is where my questions about the type of razor blade used in a SE razor begin...
I found these two blades lying around in an old drawer next to this box cutter and was wondering if these were indeed the types of blades to be used in a SE razor or is there such a thing as 'shaving grade SE blades'?
I tried putting a DE razor in and it didn't work out too well, so I got the idea of using one of these and voilà! It fits! The edges of the razor blade lied in the two little latches on wither side and it closes perfectly. But if I'm doing anything wrong or using the wrong types of blades please correct me and forgive my ignorance. I'm still learning
