Definitely will join!! Have no idea yet on the blade or how it performs. Only DE's for me right now but want to expand in all facets. Gonna pick up some GEM super stainless, but all advice is more than welcome!
Get these. GEM - Stainless Steel PTFE Coated - $0.50 each - Double Edge Razor Blade
Don't buy the ones at a hardware store.
Nice find and nice polish job. I love the look of polished brass.

Definitely NOT the ones at Lowe's! LOL The Gem Stainless are the ones I was gonna purchase, but I will check out your link to see if it's different! Thanks for the link!!

Thanks! Didn't take much work, really. Dish soap and a brass brush along with a little Scrubbing Bubble soak did most of the work. The Brasso didn't do too much at all. It already looked good after brushing.
If you’ll send me a PM with your address I’ll give you a couple to get started.

I'll definitely will do the same for another. You are a scholar and a gentleman!
Welcome to the forum!
Brass shines up nicely, and quickly. Good job!
Only GEM PTFE blades in my MMOC.
Its a really great razor, but it comes with a learning curve. I've been getting my best shaves with an MMOC lately.
I should post instructions from GEM as to how to shave with their razors.
