Recommend a mild SE blade?

[zero]

I bought a SE Ever Ready razor recently just to try as I have't used SE razors before.

Can anyone suggest a mild blade, in the way a DE Derby is mild, from the SEs listed below? These are easily available in the UK.

Treet Super (carbon)
PAL Super (carbon)
GEM Blue Star (carbon)
Looks (carbon)
GEM (super stainless)


Or if anyone wants to suggest any other brand...

I think I'd call GEM SS blades the most mild. I get the best results from GEM stainless blades. I have tried the PAL Supers and Treet supers, and while they still provide a nice shave, I just don't like them as much. Plus, the carbon blades require a lot more maintenance or they rust faster then could imagine.
When it comes down to it, I think the razor has a lot more to do with a mild shave than the blades. The blades I have tried don't seem to have nearly the range in sharpness or smoothness as DE blades do. In the end, I'd say pick up one pack of GEMs and one other carbon blade and see if you prefer one to the other.

PALs have given me okay shaves but aside from that I have only ever really used Gem Stainless, I did have a single Treet but I unwrapped it and it had rusted. Plus the convenience of having a stainless steel blade cannot be over exaggerated.

I use old Gems, Jnior, Micromatic and 1912, and I use the Gem Personnas. They are stainless, and in my opinion the only thing to use on your list. I would not have the patience to use a blue blade, too much labor. However, even the stainless might rust if you leave it in too long. Mine get spots of rust on them if I don't use them evough.

Thanks very much guys!

A Gem stainless steel one it is then.
