Official Single Edge September (SEptember) Thread

[never-stop-learning]

What does everyone think about Single Edge September?

I've been meaning to update the SE Razor Comparison thread. This would give us a lot more data points to add to the thread.

For purposes of this new thread, we could include SE Razors, replaceable blade Folding and Straight Shavettes/Barber-Razors, etc.

Who would find this interesting?

Thoughts and opinions are welcome!

You know me..... I'd be in. No shocker there. <eg>

@Dog Whiskerer hosted it last year and I’ve been practicing since 6/30 to get ready for this year’s.

Paging @Dog Whiskerer.....

Are you going to run Single Edge September again this year? If so, I'll participate on your thread!

If not, I'm happy to do so.

I have only two, but I'm in.

SEptember, Slantember, I might oscillate.

I understand that injector razors are not invited, but how about my Mingoose - 3 piece that uses an injector or a stylist blade.

They aren’t??

 

[Tanuki]

Maybe they are?

 

[Multum in parvo]

I did that for myself in February but it might be fun for September as well.

Why no Injectors @Tanuki ? SE is SE, technically this could also mean some SE disposable…

 

[Tanuki]

I was wrong! Injectors are a go, based on past years. I just thought they were conspicuously absent in post #1.

I have a number of vintage single-edge razors but have never used any of them.

I think SE September is a rad idea. After what I'm about to do for August, I'll be in some need of a change.

Looks like I have a month or so to pick up some proper blades. What do you all suggest for say, a Gem?

 

[bartje-p]

Got 4 injectors, 3 artist club razors, 1 half DE blade razors, so if they can all participate... I'm in!. Oh yes, I also have 1 DE razor ;-)

 

[cryhavoc]

All I use these days are SE razors, so I'm in again!

Personna GEM PTFE blades are the hive-mind choice. Have also seen uncoated Personna GEM stainless as well as carbon blades with the PAL and Accutec badges on them, too.

Injector razors are absolutely welcome!

The Personna GEM blades from Connaught are what I use.

Thank you both. I'll start looking into these.

@KMF79

Gem SS Ptfe
Gem SS uncoated
Gem Blue Star (carbon)
Gem Carbon
PAL Blue Carbon

All made by Accutec I believe. I just invested in two trays of the PTFE from Connaught. If they make it across the pond I’d be happy to mail you a few.

 

[RenoRichard]

I'm in; been DE shaving most of this year and could use a change as well. Plenty of Gems, injectors, and artist club razors here deserving of some use!

Hey Tanuki. I like your name by the way.

Thanks for the list. I like learning so researching is somewhat of a hobby of mine. I’m definitely going to be looking into all of those as I also happened to be one of those fellows that likes variety. Having a couple, few blades to choose from suits me.

I would love to take you up on the offer. I’m currently living in California but will be moving to Oregon at the end of the first week of August. So looks like I’ll be a fellow Oregonian like yourself

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Accutec the American company that makes Persona blades as well?
