Are they any good? Which is the best to look for in terms of getting a close and comfortable shave?
Are there any other notable razors that use Feather SE blades? (given that finding a Feather SE razor is like looking for hen's teeth.)
Gear drives on the side of a razor?? I'm intrigued!

I use them in my Gem Pushbutton and put a spine on one and used it in my 1912.

Exactly almost all Ever Ready/GEM SE razors will work, apart from the MicroMatic (all models). The older models 1912, 1914 and 1924 might need a spine. I have not tried the Streamline.

UKRob said:So, I assume that the 1912 refers to an Ever Ready but what does 'Spinning them ' refer to?

Putting a spine on, I'm assuming

I'm looking for a generous person to donate a Feather FHS-5 Hi-Stainless blade or two to a good cause - Feather SE - namely me! Once bitten over 100 Gem SE blades that I did not like when I tried them, twice shy over Feather SE blades - and Paul needs £6 to send me five of them.
Anybody got one or two they can spare, please?

Yes that's what I meant, I tend to make up words. Spinning - to add a spine to a feather se blade or the like.. And yes I was referring to a Gem 1912.

Ah - I see. Originally I read it as in spinning top. So I assume you lever a spine from a Gem and slip it over the feather? How do you rate the feather against the gem - what I'm trying to get to is whether the trouble is worth it?
