SE shaving. I recently got a SE, and want to try it out, but I don't know what brand of blade to buy, or where to buy.
What is best blade for

If you have a Walgreens nearby you can get the GEM blades manufactured by Personna, which are very good blades. Other places like Rite Aid sell Treet, GEM Blue Star and PAL blades. They also work very well for most guys but they are made of carbon steel and tend to rust and lose their edge very quickly as opposed to the stainless GEM/Personna's.
If you're not in a hurry you might get in on the group buy of Ted Pella blades. They are PTFE coated stainless steel GEM blades. I personally can't tell any difference between them and the ones from Walgreens but each blade has it's followers that prefer one or the other.

I agree with all of this, although I find the Ted Pella's to be slightly sharper. They're cheaper, as well, which works. If ASR ends up no longer producing blades though, SE shaving is in trouble.
