SE recommendations please

I am soon to be the proud owner of a GEM 1912, for which I need SE blades. My local Sprawlmart carries nothing but cartridges. Online I see listings for "barber" blades and straight blades. Will these work?

 

No, those are for disposable blade straight razors. CVS and sometimes Walgreen's Pharmacy and Rite Aide carry SE blades.

Here are a few links:

Thank you, jabberwock.

 

You can also order them from some online sites (TSD included)

I recommend you read HoosierTroopers guide though, it's got some good information

I can't be sure, but I think that Sally's Beauty Supply also sells SE blades.

I'll recommend Gem blades I pick up at the ShopRite grocery store and suggest avoiding Treet blades, also available locally, for me, anyway.

 

Thanks again, gentlemen. I placed an order for some Gem Blue Star blades, along with an EJ DE86. Unrelated, yes, but the collection/addiction grows.
