SE v DE What's the benefits?

I lurve my Ever Ready 1912, I can get BBS without really looking for it in 2 passes.
I was then wondering, as much as I adore my vintage ER, if there were modern razors that accommodated the GEM blades? This blade works very well for me in the ER, and rather than open up another rabbit hole with AC blades, I could find a razor that’ll work with mountain of GEM blades I already own?
If there aren’t any, I’ll soldier on with the daintiness and genius of the Ever Ready and resist this itch.
 
Yes there is, the Blackland Sabre!
 
There's a few modern options: Blackland Sabre (L1 and L2), Above the Tie G1 and the PAA Starling. There may be more but I can't think of any at the mo

What did you dislike about it? I quite like the G1. @vates taught me about the different versions and I seem to have a V2 - not sure if that makes a difference.

The V1 didn't shave and the V2 was not much better, ask Mike about his! @mpf9ret

I had the V1 and Mike had the V2 they both needed work before they would shave and even then both were not as good as the Blackland L1
Who brought Mike's when he sold it? I can't remember who I sold mine to after I had worked on it.

As I said...whatever works for you. I love vintage for the history and providence too. I just don’t write off contemporary cutlery.
