What are the advantages of using a vintage SE razor such as an Ever Ready or Gem Micromatic over a vintage DE razor
FirstJust something different in the Vintage genre, although I prefer the Gem format.
Two of my vintages currently in rotation are Ever-Readys… a 1912 and a pre-patent Shovelhead. The others are a New, three Techs, two Aristocrats, and a Super Speed.
Post-1924, the year the patent was granted, the patent number is stamped on the razor (I've not seen one). Technically, anything without the patent number is a 1919 (the year the patent was filed).First
The blade is the advantage.

Off of the topic.
What do you mean pre-patent Shovel head? Patent date is 1924, correct? I do not think I have seen one that has patent date on the razor.
The Shovel head and the 1912 (squat head) are my daily drivers. Sounds like we have similar tastes in razors.
I only use Ever Ready SE’s. I do not use DE’s.
