It seems like most that try GEM end up liking them best. Something about it's specific thickness just works! Amazing how they got lost along the way. I guess the 2 sided DE along with Gillette's marketing destroyed anything else that was out there. And funny that in the end, Gillette carts ended up being single edge blades.
Well, I wouldn’t say I like the GEM format best - I’m not sure about that. The Kai long blade format (what some people call Artist Club) might be a better format because of the more user-friendly and more nimble size. And these blades are very rigid too. But I find Personna GEM blades to have perhaps the most comfortable blade edge.
Despite having Artist club razors, it's been my least liked. That mega wide blade doesn't do it for me. Now the injector is a different story. It's the same thickness as the AC but the width is like a GEM or DE. Luckily we have plenty of options in this hobby.
for me 
I love the handle as well. Feels perfect
That's basically how I've felt with Lab Blues DE blades over the past two years.
Me too!
have to try the Treet Blacks again. Tried it about a year ago and I tried it on a DE (forget which razor) but it seemed underwhelming, and tried it on my Twig/Thorn (split DE blade) and it just seemed blah...
Treet carbon blades are great. You just need to dry them off after each shave or they will rust.
Yep! Read about that before I started using them. So far what I've done is just use it one time and throw it out, Lol!!
I've tried them so far with the Rex Envoy and the Pils razor. I'm gonna try them out on another one tomorrow night to see.
I use Treet Carbons to try out new razors or reacquaint myself with a razor that hasn't been in the rotation for a while. They are awesome first shaves (unlike many coated blades) and very consistent. They are also sharp and quickly encourage you to the right shaving angle. They are also so cheap that I basically "one and done" them. They do rust so keep them in a blade dryer between shaves or be sure and dry them well (feel free to wipe them as they aren't coated).
Le Maurice long handle (modified by Atelier Durdan) to work with the Vestige. If they don't do a slight mod on the side of the handle that screws in, it'll overlap the head. He trims down the diameter in order to fit as it should!
I guess it would be a trial and error thing. Some might work and some might not!
