Blades for a Gem

[barman]

I'm thinking of buying a Gem Micromatic. What type of blades does it take, and where can I get them?

I've seen some at a few local pharmacies, but that's about it.

It uses single edge blades.. there are several types for sale around here.. I get most of mine from the local CVS.. What kind of micromatic you going to get> I have an open comb myself.

I saw a 10 pack at CVS for $3.99, and a 10 pack at Food Basics for $1.99.

Considering how bad the double edge blades I got at the Food Basics were, I am loathe to spend more money on blades there.

Any good places to buy online? Does Pasteur's have good quality ones?

[D.Irving79]

any supermarket/rite aid type place

tedpella.com sells the good blades. 121-3 is the model #.

Personally, I use Ted Pella's GEM : great blades and very sharp!

[Dr. Mike]

I was always very satisfied with the GEM blades I got from my local Walgreen's. The Pellas are nice, but not essential.

Barman,

I have several Micromatics that have been sitting around for a while unused. If you want one for very little $, send me a pm.

This is a GEM SE all brass Micromatic Clog-Pruf from the 30's. I use Treet stainless steel and they work fine. It's a good shaver. I want to get a small quantity of the Ted Pella SE PTFE coated blades. You have to buy 200 and I don't want that many. I'd like to split an order if I could figure out a good way to do it.
