For the period May 21st to June 21st it has been traditionally labeled GEMini (I think by Dunedinranger), whereas all of the members of the great Gemocracy (or the newly coined LOSERS) get to flaunt their stuff for the month of June and use only the vaunted Gems, Ever Ready's, Stars.... all those SE's we all love.
So..... get your choices ready (Pics are necessary !!!! ) and lets strut our stuff !!!
All those DE users will be jealous as we will probably only need 3-4 blades for the month.

use only SE for a month?It might be a sacrifice I'm willing to take....Is it June or is it the astrological period? (May 21 to June 21st)

Eh, I'm a Gemini (6/10), and I have a bunch of GEMs, but it would drive me nuts to leave my nice DEs in the dust for a month. Maybe I'll do every other day and call it....
wait for it.....
I said wait for it.....

This sounds like a great idea. I've inadvertently been on my own SE stint for a bit now. Right now I'm loving the ER 1924 Shovelhead and am eagerly awaiting an ER 1912.

No problem, I have only used SEs on my face for over a year. I do use DEs on my head though.
What's a little loss of blood in the big scheme of things?

I have two more coming in to add to the OCMM and Ever Ready 1912. A beaten up Damaskeene 1912 and an unknown Ever Ready. Both cheap ebay pickups. Getting ready for GEMini!

I'll have to think about this awhile before I can commit to a whole month of nothing but Gem's.

I did it last year and I'll do it again this year. Although I might have to pick up a couple of new razors for Father's Day. Maybe I can finally pick up that Gem Jr Bar...
