I've just discovered the joys of SE shaving with an ER 1912. First of all I tried a generic carbon steel blade, which was a bit 'tuggy' but worked well enough to encourage me to continue.
I wasn't sure about the coated GEM's from Connaught as I thought they may be a bit ubber sharp for me, so I trawled the web and found these :-

I ordered some to try, and lo and behold, what arrived was the very same coated GEM's that Connaught sell!
I've used Connaught before and found the service to be excellent, so I don't want to do them out of business, and there isn't a huge price difference but an alternative source for a hard to get item is always good, IMHO.
