Now I definitely feel loved. Thanks, Toby! I have never had my own meme before.
Now yer famous!
If you lifted a SE to your face on a regular basis all your DE's would be lonely,I can confirm this.
A handful of Gem Stainless from Tryablade.
Just got an order in from Try-A-Blade on Friday (yesterday). I placed the order on the 25th (Monday). I am pleased with the speed of delivery. 
I would order from him again.
I got two each of the offered GEM blades.

There is some plate loss on the head, but it seems to be in good user condition.

So here it is:
This one bears the 1914 patent date:
Typical old school SE:
This has the lift tabs on the top cap:
Overall appears in decent shape, nothing bent or warped to my eye. This is going to require a change in methodology for sure. Plan to break it out with a brand new Gem Personna stainless blade this weekend!

Hey Lane, that is a 1914 not a 1924. Even better IMHO.

Thanks gents, I'm learning more about these as the days go by.
1914's are great shavers - congratulations!
Quickie guide to SE razor identification:
1912: Opens by pressing tab at center of rear side of cap. May be Gem, Ever-Ready, Star.
1914: Has no tab, has "LIFT HERE" stamped on edges of cap. Ever-Ready only
1924: Cap is hinged at front, attached at the ends of the comb. Ever-Ready only

Great info, thanks!
Look what I found at auction ... I got two New Old Stock Shovelheads in a little 'kit' ... there was a third too ... and one in a chrome metal box ....
Couldn't believe my luck - but I like a 1912 Gem over a Ever-Ready Shovelhead.
