SE Blade apocalypse

According to this thread.... the end is near http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=155167

We did a group buy not too long ago on SE Blades.... any interest?

 

[Mr. O]

I voted yes. Although I will not be partaking in this buy, many folk here enjoy the Pella blades and the price cannot be matched.

 

[D.Irving79]

i agree.

I have never tried SEs. I have been shaving with DEs and recently with straight, am I missing out on something?

Yes you are! And ted pellas are better blades.

The Hy-Vee and Walgreens near me still sell SE's and DE's and usually have quite a few stocked. Of course the DE's are always the store's re-branded Personna's and the SE's are probably made by a similar company and re-branded for the store, but they work like a charm for me. It doesn't seem like they plan to stop carrying them soon, but I could be wrong.

 

[wolfmanxiii]

I stand corrected, I just read the info. on that thread you linked and it looks like I should stock up while I can.

I find that a SE has less small nicks at time. the blade is not as thin so I have more control when I rush at times. Although you can not beat the workmanship in a good DE razor. The SE razors are a bit more clumsy. I can not use the pella blades, they have a 3 facet edge made for sliceing in a lab. Much too sharp for my skin. I had to strop them to dull the edge first. When you look at the edge with the naked eye, you could see the big difference between a regular gem and a industrial blade. Everyone is different, but I will spend the extra 30 bucks for 200 regular blades any time.

As a big fan of GEMs and SE's in general I would be up for another buy, especially if it included the option to get some Pella injector blades as well. I'm thinking of significant numbers of both since I don't want to run out any time soon.

I just like the "skrrriiiiiiitch" sound of an SE!

If this group buy happens, I will definitely participate.

 

[ferroburak]

Agreed. We better hurry.

 

[shamus]

Agreed. We better hurry.

Fantastic SE blades those Ted Pella's. I got a couple of boxes on the last group buy and distributed one box to the VA hospital guys. I'd be up for another group buy for these great blades.

Cheers.
