Gem and Treet seem to be the same blade sans Gem name. Is there a blade available other than these snow shovels?

theyre actually different blades believe it or not.

other single edge blades:

PAL super single edge

GEM stainless (aka pellas)

GEM blue star

treet carbon




my favorite have to be the pellas. i get a good 6-7 shaves out of a single blade.

Had a shave with Musgo Real Cream and Aftershave Balm yesterday. It was great, and the aftershave smells really good.
It felt a bit above my age though, it is definitely a man's smell.

Well, I started with just the neck and it was a bit...dicey. The blood was apparent. Going to wait until Friday to avoid looking attacked at work.

SFEND002, If I may suggest. Forget against the grain for now. Shower, oil, lather and go with the easy areas until you get the angle right. Finish with the razor you are comfortable with. Plenty of time to develop more of a non-mutilating technique. Oh and don't forget the alum block.
