The ones I'm really interested in are the American Line brand that can be bought at Amazon.com for a really cheap price. Probably going to order some of them soon. I tried these and found them to be worse than anything else I've ever used and I've used a wide variety of SE blades over the years. These blades were so bad that I suspect that they're really intended for paint-scrapping tools. Yeah the American Line that is sold at Lowes or Home Depot are just for scrapers but they were advertising some on Amazon that were suposed to be PTFE coated but I never got around to ordering any. Too many good blades are available locally.

I don't have any doubt that the Treets are carbon steel. I can't distinguish them from the GEM Blue Stars, and both "stain," typical of carbon steel. Both also deteriorate quickly. For me, the first shave is glorious, the second is very good, and the third pulls something fierce but still yields a very good shave. I tried the PAL blades, whiich are blued carbon steel. They felt duller to me than the Treets and Blue Stars. I don't think I'll bother with them anymore. - Murray I agree. Both the Blue Stars and the Treets work wonderfully for me, but the Pals I have tried seem duller. In fact, I relegated the Pals to use in my utility scraper.
