I picked up a couple really nice looking SEs online this weekend, a Ever Ready Shovel Head and a cased/boxed GEM Junior Brass. Now the wait begins to get these in the mail and to determine if I am indeed a LOSER.

SE blades are generally easier to find locally than injector blades, almost all Walgreens, Rite Aid and CVS drugstores carry them.

My best guess- you will really like that Gem Jr- and then you are hooked! Both very nice looking razors, but the Gem will be a better shaver.

That 1924 looks especially good.

Looks nice! remember, it may take a few shaves till you get the hang of the differences between SE and DE shaving. I think you will enjoy them. I have an Ever Ready 1912 that is now my daily (well, every other day) shaver. I remember just a few months ago telling myself that I would love to try an SE razor but that nothing was gonna take me away from my DEs. Don't get me wrong, i still love my DEs, especially my Gillette NEW, but the 1912 is a thing of beauty.

Welcome to the SE way! Lots of good affordable SEs out there. Many of us love the 1912 Gem Damaskeene. Originally Posted by BladeDE40
