My VINTAGE GEM MICROMATIC SINGLE EDGE SAFETY RAZOR SET & NOS BLADE! 



Now to learn to shave with it LOL

Congrats on scoring a Gem SE razor!  SE shaving is actually easier than DE shaving.  You can find the "sweet spot" better.  Just keep the head of the razor almost flat or more shallow than you would a DE razor. 

As you can see, I love my vintage SE razors.  I have several and they are great performers.  You can even get a SE blade at your local CVS store.  CVS has it's own brand DE blade.  Keep us posted and thanks for sharing.

Thanks @Warhawk!  Yeah I've been wanting to try a SE every since I saw my first one.  As far as the blades, unfortunately my city doesn't have CVS, just Walgreens.  BUT we do have Rite Aid, and they DO carry their own brand of blades (10 for $7+ tho ) so I'll probably get some.  I'm keeping the GEM blade that came with it intact.

@wutwutman If you like the blades they can be ordered much cheaper online for your future purchases!

Congratulations that looks very nice.

Excellent bro! I love my DE razor! Along with shaving oil, its the best shave I've ever had!

[wutwutman]

@Bluebriz - thats true.  So if I dont pick some up at Maggards Razors this weekend, I will order some Personas online

@Frontman43 - I'm looking forward to trying it out!  DO you recommend another shaving oil besides Shave Secret?

@Roger - thanks!

[wutwutman]

I quite fancy buying a slant myself

[wutwutman]

I will eventually most  likely purchase a slant for my collection, but they sound to aggressive for my shaving needs..

What i have seen, some say they are aggressive others not. The 37c is one i will get. Good reviews and cheap too.
