Oh No, I have SE RAD

[HoosierTrooper]

Those are all the later models and are generally considered less "aggressive" than the earlier ones.

I have picked up a few in my searches, but don't really care for them. I have a Featherweight, G-Bar, Contour, and a gold Push Button. Are any of these must-trys?

My 2 cents: I love my G-bar. Its my favorite razor. but yeah it is a little mild I suppose.

[RailroadMan]

As part of the Magnificent SEven, using a push-button, if that is a milder SE, then how aggressive are the older ones?

Maybe this is a good thread to ask about SE blades. What are the top blades. Cost? Best place to buy?

There is a group buy going on right now in the Safety Razor Blades forum for GEM PTFE coated blades. A top-tier blade, maybe THE top blade out there from what I have read. Link below.

Tom (Hoosier Trooper) generously pifd me a 1912 , since then Ive gotten another 1912 in travel size 1914 with case , 1924 cased , and a Gbar .The Se razors are just good shavers , I also like the the fact they have some history to them

[ShavinBacon]

I fail to see the problem in your title line.... Please elaborate.

SE's are the unsung heroes in the safety razor world. They are not bad at all and give great shaves. I think what you have in your arsenal is a pretty good SE gauge for performance.

[dgilman]

I can't really contribute to your collection, as my preferred SE is the humble but brilliant Gem 1912. I've tried nearly every model that Gem ever produced, and the 1912 is my favorite without question. I have yet to try a Damaskeene, though, and I know Tom has a thing for them, so you may be ahead of my game.

That's the beauty, there are two, maybe three, kinds of blades to chose from and once you try them, you'll know whether they work for you or not. None of this trying out 50 different blades in a vein search for the ultimate shave

[InsecureSpike]

aahhhh which contour do you have, my good fellow!?

Thanks for the heads-up on the buy. I got in for 2.

I just recieved a GEM 1912 last Friday from my girlfriend, and I absolutely LOVE SE shaving now, its all I've used for the last week.

Streamline and gemy 1912 rulez

[stvince71]

My list includes: a Gem G-Bar, a Gem Jr, a Le Touriste, a Valet AutoStrop, and a Star Lather Catcher. I have the Wilkinson Empire on its way at this time. I hope to get my hands on a Gem Jr Bar, Damaskeen, Rolls, Darwin, Streamline, and Clog Proof. I'm not asking too much, am I?

[ERVARGASNY]

We need a good SE. Wiki with lots of pics and info, I think TOM AKA HT should take charge of it, he is the Master if SE's if you ask me, He is like what Alex is to DE's , what do you guys think? Should we have a Super SE Wiki?

[InsecureSpike]

great idea fella!

i have a fair few SE's too now. so i'm good for helping out & pics...

[Rob72]

Ha! I was going to start with some pics & page on Wilkinson Sword, over the weekend, as these seem to be cropping up, of late.

[HoosierTrooper]

Not really. There are guys here that have forgotten more about SE's than I'll ever forget.
