What's new

What's a good single edge blade?

A LONG time ago, I bought some GEM single-edge blades. I use mainly double-edge and don't shave everyday, so it took me a long time to go through the pack (100 blades). When I was out, I bought some more GEM blades. The new ones were terrible. I did some searching, but can't find anything that looks promising. What single-edge blades are people using?
 
To be clear, I am looking for the type of SE blades that look like what you put in a paint scraper, not 'injector' blades. All of my SE razors are vintage.
Thanks!

Personna makes several GEM blades. What you want is the coated ones, they are coated with teflon. They are the ones to use for shaving. It is a good idea to buy them from a shaving place, like Connaught, to make sure you get the correct ones.
