I use a 1940s Gillette flat bottom Tech and had until recently been using Gillette Nacet blades and never in a million years thought of using anything else, until.......
I tried Treet blue blades, the carbon steel ones, they are much smoother, give a nice close shave and leave less irritation.
Waiting for Jeremy Beadle to appear .....
Have I gone mad

There's still nothing wrong with carbon blades even in this modern day, they are IMHO generally more face friendly giving a gentler less 'fierce' shave. I don't think they are quite as sharp as many of the top selling stainless blades but they are more than sharp enough to give a perfect shave. I think this applies to both DE and GEM style SE blades. They do of course have their negative side ie rusting and short life.
This statement does not apply to NOS carbon blades of any style which are hugely hit and miss and can vary between wonderful and evil!

Hmmmm. I really didn't want to buy any more blades (I think I've got enough to see me out), but now it looks like I've got to try some of these carbon jobs.
