I first tried an SE razor early in the year: a Mongoose. I then ordered an Alumigoose. Next, my Gem blade razor AD kicked in, which includes three MMOCs, a couple 1907 Lather Catchers, a British 1912, a couple 1914s, a Damaskeene, a couple Shovelheads, a Featherweight, a Push Button, a Streamline, a Gem Junior Bar, and a few others that I can't remember. Along the way, I picked up a Valet Auto Strop VC1. Then I went to injectors, including a B1, several E types, several G types, a couple I1s, a couple Js, a couple Ls, an M adjustable, and the current version of the Supply.
Although I have some DEs I love to death (including the R41, Ikon Tech, ATT H2 and Le Coq caged head), and have a couple more on the way (Charcoal Goods level 3 and PAA DOC Evolution), there's something about the SEs. The difference among the Gem, FHS-10, Feather AC, injector and twin injector blades is much more dramatic than the difference among different DE blades. The form factor among the various SE razors is also very different. Yet they all provide tremendous shaves (except the Streamline, which is too mild for my face). The later Schicks don't shave closely without a twin blade, but I have 152 twin blades, so I don't complain. In fact, the Type J Schick with a vintage Personna II twin blade may be my closest shave (sorry, DEs). Unless it's the Supply with a Chick.
Anyway, as I approach the end of 2016, I want to honor the almighty SE which, of all the shaving products I enjoyed this year, gave me the most pleasure. Thank you, SEs!
