Treet SE Blades at Rite-Aid

[The Last Chimney]

The Treet SE Blades. They are at my Rite-Aid, and likely other Rite-Aids.

That's... pretty much it.

Also, on a completely unrelated note, after my first SE shave, my face is still attached and I have ALL my bloods!

And how was the shave itself? Will you be having another?

Maneuvering the big head was pretty awkward, so there's rough spots under my nose and around my chin. The horror stories got me nervous, so I only did two passes and touch-up, but there was very little irritation.

I'm definitely trying again tomorrow, though. A SE feels strangely satisfying!

I find it satisfying as well. I use a DE more, mostly because I have 700 DE blade and about 20 SE blades.

Never really had and blood-letting once I got the angle right during the first shave. Plus I have a open comb micromatic on the way.

I've been using the Treet blades from Rite Aid and their CVS counterparts and don't have any complaints about them. I wish I could get more than 3-4 good shaves per blade, like with my DE blades, but they're so much cheaper than cartridge blades that they're still a fantastic deal.
So far, I've used them in a Gem travel razor, a bullet tip Micromatic, a Gem Junior, and a Gem pushbutton, and all have given good shaves. The most I've bled so far has been with a red tip SS and with a Tech loaded with a Racer blade(that later provided a fantastic head shave).

The audible feedback from most Gems is simply amazing, as are the shaves.

How true. Every time I shave with a Gem, I hear it taunting my Injectors. It says, "Schick, Schick, Schick, Schick". My 4 Gems came in 2 different lots that I actually bought for the Gillettes. I was going to sell them until I bought some SE blades and tried them out.
The Gem Junior gives one of the closest, yet most comfortable shaves I've ever had. 4 passes gave me BBS with no bleeding and no irritation.

I need to buy some more SE blades. I just wish CVS hadn't stopped carrying their Injector blades, and I wish Rite Aid hadn't stopped carrying the ASR-made, store brand Atra carts. The ASR Atra carts give me a better shave than Gillette-made Sensor and M3 carts.

SE shaving is very addictive, for some reason.

GEM's are my go to razor 5 or 6 days a week. I still enjoy using the DE's, but they just aren't as much fun. I've been using a Micromatic Clog Pruf a lot lately. It provides a nice balance between the open comb MM's and the safety bars of the G-Bar, Featherweight and Pushbutton, but I love em all.

As to the Treet blades, they're my favorites but do only last 3 shaves or less. I can get several more form the Ted Pellas or the Walgreens/GEM/Personna blades and the performance is close enough that I'm sticking with them for the most part.

I haven't tried the Featherweight yet, or the pushbutton. But I plan on it. I have used the G bar and the Contour, and they provided close shaves, but not on the par of the OCMM or the 1912's.
