I've been a member of B&B since November and have grown to absolutely love the shaves from single edge blades, both injectors and GEM's. I currently have three GEM's, a gold 1912 Junior, a siver 1912 that looks identical to the Junior except it doesn't have the word "Junior" on it and my favorite, a fat handle model that I don't believe was ever used before I bought it at an antique store.
I use the GEM by Personna blades from Walgreens.
Since I'm new to the world of DE/SE shaving, and I'm having fun working through the small collection of vintage razors I've accumulated, I'm not ready to committ to using the SE's exclusively. But someday...
Now I need to figure out how to add an avatar.

Jeffersonville, opposite end of the state. Right on the Kentucky line across from Louisville.

Yeah... that is about as far from Valpo as you can get! lots of nice places down in that area. We certainly enjoy the Madison area.

Madison is a nice little town, my SIL lives there. Went antiquing there last weekend, found several razors but they tend to charge higher prices than the ones around me.

Doesn't surprise me. I was thinking about going there this summer to look; but expected as much. Too many tourists hitting the antique markets, just like Brown County.

You're right, that's the problem with Madison. If you're ever down this way give me a shout. I'm easy to get hold of.
