I decided to dabble in the dark arts and snatched me up a SE from eBay. Its listed as an ever-ready. It was only $15 to my door. Did I make a decent purchase?
I believe you did....i got one at a second hand store for 10$....i loved it, but gifted it to my brother. Its #1 in his rotation now. You can get decent SE blades at walgreens
Are you referring to the personna gem blades? I found them and plan on picking some up. Thanks for the info!
Excellent razor and I too use one infrequently. I find they're especially useful on a multi day growth.
It's hard to tell, but it looks like it's in decent shape. If so, $15 is good for that razor. Most Gem, Star and Eveready razors of that design are reasonably priced, give great shaves and provide a nice variety to the wet shave. I have several of them now and really like the shaves. To start, keep the head flat to your face and then lift up the back of the razor slightly until you feel the blade beginning to cut the hairs as you pull forward. The nose area is a little tricky at first, but easily mastered. You will get lots of audible feedback from that razor. Like buttering toast! You can also buy SE blades at Rite Aid. I'm sure that you're going to love that razor!
