Having recently started trying the Feather Pro Guard and Professional blades I started to think about terminology.
Probably my ignorance but what I think of as SE seems to cover at least three separate and incompatible blade types:
1. the thick, GEM 'window scraper' style blades of the Ever Ready and Gem vintage razors.
2. longer and thinner blades that seem to last longer than most other blade types. Examples would be Feather Pro Guard, Professional, Super, and the Kai Captain blades.
3. standard DE blades snapped in half. Sometimes referred to as saloon blades and used in shavettes, often by barbers.
Are there proper names you use (and I should use) for these three distinct types of SE blades?
