    I prefer the carbon steel over the stainless myself. I would choose the Blue Stars everytime. But of all I had were the Gem SS I would still be a happy shaver.

    It all depends on how they work for you. The stainless steel blades work well for me but I'm going to try the Blue Star Carbon Blades and see how they do.

    $3.79 shipping .... so 3pks of 10 blades with shipping is $12.31 ($8.52 for 3-packs + $3.79 shipping) is that a good deal?

    That is a good price. Normal price in my stores is between $5-6 per pack.

    My second consecutive Shave with one of the Razors specifically manufactured to be used with a Twin Blade.
    As Twin blades may be hard to come by, I have embarked on a series of Shaves with them using a more
    available single blade. However, rather than used a standard Injector blade I have been using the
    Schick Proline AC blade [ Type B].

    To date I have used the N1 five times with this blade, and even though I have a tough beard I have no problem getting great Shaves with this combo. This and the O Clone are delivering some of the best Shaves that I have ever had a with an Injector using a single blade. So guys if you run low on Twins for your Razors, the little Schick AC blade is a good alternative.

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The TSD Cool Lime Stick Shave Soap face-lathered well with the JR #217 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the J.A. Henckels Rapide razor with a J.A. Henckels wedge blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Menthol Monday Shave

    Haven't used a SE since Xmas. Today I used my PAL adjustable that was recently repaired by Cap'n Murphy at Vintage Razor Repair after my attempts failed to straighten the safety bar. The razor performed flawlessly and resulted in a decent enough shave. I've not used this razor before so I'm just getting used to it. One small weeper, otherwise nice.

    Question:. Can you use a twin blade in this razor?
