Yup. Just got a notification that Shoe Box Shave Shop is selling SE blade for as little as $2.59 a 5 pack! That includes Blue Star, Treet, Gem, etc.
I'm going there now.

Looks like a 10 pack of PALS for that price. Not bad at all.

Right on time. My GEM-style blade experience is limited to Feathers and SS coated GEMs and was curious about CS. Will place an order for sure. THANKS!

I forgot I had a few cs GEM. I tried one in a brit 1912 and am unimpressed. I had already ordered more but my hopes are still high for Treets and Pals.

Blades are one of the most polarizing tools of our "Sport"...But I sure do love the PAL and Treet CS blades...I can't see how someone would not like them...but I could be blinded by my affection for how wonderfully they consistantly perform in my shave-cave.
I will also be awaiting your upcoming opinions of these classic blades.
Which GEM cs blades did you try ?

Do you like CS GEM's? How do those compare to PALs and Treets?

Couple of things: 1. I am 90% sure the blades I had are CVS blades. 2. I found this thread by MJClak and I found it very useful. www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/carbon-se-blade-shave-off-the-truth-at-last.450065/3. My blades are here and I ordered: Treet super, GEM blue star (I forgot that's what I ordered), Pal super. I suspected that the CVS blade might settle after a couple of shaves or so. Will pal-strop and see how it goes. Thanks OP for letting us know about the blade sale!

Just wanted to say I switched razors and that itself made a huge difference. It was me using the razor incorrectly IMO. Then I've been using a PAL and its a great blade. Liking CS so far. Very nice feel on the face. They seem to dull a bit faster though.
