SE blades question

[scottb]

I got a couple Gems in a lot and would like to compare SE shaving to injectors and DE razors. I bought some store brand SE blades ("Top Care") but they tug badly enough that I had to switch to another razor. Also, it turns out they rust. Quickly.

My question is: I know there aren't many SE blade manufacturers right now, but what are some good ones? Where do you get yours?

Thanks for any help.

Rite Aid drugstores carry Treet brand SE blades, and some store carry PAL and GEM Blue Stars. They all work pretty good, especially the Treet's, but thay are carbon steel and tend to corrode quickly unless they're dried thoroughly after each use. As Brian said try to find the Walgreen GEM's, but if you can't the others will work.

At least here in NYC, I have also found the GEM SE blades at larger Bed, Bath & Beyond stores.

You can buy the Gem Stainless SE blades (typically sold at Walgreens) directly from the Personna Online Store for $4.79 per 10 pack with free shipping.
