What Chris said.Love SE's
I do use the GEM based razors but not too often as my preference leans towards the AC razors and they are pretty hard to beat.
Better blade life. Probably get as many as 20 shaves from a blade but nominally around 12
Quicker shaves by far due the size of the blade
Less blade chatter and more rigid which gives for a nice smooth effective shave with less irritation.
Less blade choice which is a massive plus, and in general they are all pretty damn good.
The razors themselves tend to be better quality.
Just a few plus points from my perspective
Not to say I am anti-DE as my favourite happens to be a DE in the Ikon B1
I only have the one 'half DE blade' razor and that is the Rocnel SE-P. It is incredibly aggressive and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't had experience on this side of shaving and razors. But shit, I can't think of any razor which shaves so damn close without removing skin
Other than trying a GEM (Ever easy 1912's etc) as a nice cheap way in to SE, a Razorock Hawk V3 or an Executive shaving Claymore Evolution are super ways in.
I highly recommend trying an SE
You could do worse than trying a Hawk V3 & Proline P blades.
Very comfortable shaves with zero irritation.
