The Schick blades last almost 30 shaves with the classic plate. The white label blades worked for 4-5 shaves before dulling and the Personna blades only lasted a few before tugging. Overall I like the new plate, but am not sold on the blades. This blade only lasted 5 shaves so I'm not sure if it was a dud or dulled when loading. I got it out of the bin with tweezers and loaded it by hand. Unfortunately I had angled the head down and the new blade fell out after the old one ejected. The blade lasted for 14 shaves though I noticed some irritation after the last couple.įor the next blade I tried loading with the dispenser. I would compare the shave to the Supply 2.0 with classic plate. There was hardly any blade feel and no nicks or irritation. The new plate fits on the 2.0 alloy handle well and there was no issue loading the first blade by hand.įirst impressions were very good with a 3 pass shave giving me near BBS results. Not trying to hijack the thread, but I've been using my Supply with the SE plate and black label blades for a couple weeks. If you want something more efficient, I would look at the pro. If you like that one, you will like this razor. The best comparison I can make to this razor is the post-war Tech. If you are fine with some extra fiddling to get the BBS when you want it, but value minimizing the risk of nicks and irritation, this is also a good choice for you. If you are a BBS advocate and love razors like the R41, I would suggest the Pro. I think if you are a DFS shaver, this razor is a good choice. It is mild as advertised but can be used to get a BBS. I like the razor and the blades! It is what it advertises, a solid, well made injector razor with quality blades at a reasonable price. I would say it took an extra pass to really get to BBS. Primarily stretching the skin, buffing, and J-hooking most of which was done after I had rinsed off the soap residue. I got a BBS, but I had to use a number of techniques to get there. I would say somewhere around a 3 on the adjustable. As you would expect with a razor that leaves little irritation, it is mild. To say this razor leaves you with no irritation is an understatement. There were no nicks and no feedback from my aftershave beyond the menthol coolness. Overall, the razor/blade combo is very smooth. I took it for a spin with my normal 3-pass shave (WTG, XTG, ATG) with touch-ups. I am a BBS chaser so I was curious about the guard and "no-nick" description of the razor. I normally use a Schick Adjustable with the Chinese-made Schicks aka (Chicks) on about 4-7 depending on the day and the sharpness of the blade. The proline B-20 blades I bought off of Ebay and it took about 6 weeks to get them from Japan. If Astra SP blades are ok for you then Injector blades should work fine for you. Personally all three blades were too rough feeling for me. I had removed the cardboard insert as part of disassembling the razor so that may have made it easier. I bought a Schick Type M injector and Chinese Schick blades, Personna blades and Schick Proline B-20 blades. Loading the included black label blades was very easy, no issue there. No issues with workmanship or other defects. It is fairly hefty and was nicely finished. The razor has a single spring-loaded screw that can be used to disassemble the razor for easy cleaning. The razor came nicely packed with black label blades.
Overall, I recommend this razor and I am happy with Supply in general! If you want more efficiency, I would look at the Pro. If you like that kind of razor, then you will like this one.
In short, this razor performs like the post-war Tech of the SE world. I am one of the lucky few that lives close enough to Supply that I got my razor in 1 day. There are also P-20 blades available which are identical except that the dispenser holds 20 blades instead of 30.I received the Supply SE with the "open comb" design today. Even with the shipping cost and American Express hitting me with a foreign currency charge I still ended up paying less than $.50 per blade, not much more than I paid for the Feathers. I inadvertently paid extra for expedited shipping (even the "English" version of the site is largely in Japanese) and had my blades in 5 days.
I purchased 120 of these direct from Rakuten in Japan.

My impression thus far is that the Proline is just as sharp as the Feather Pro yet significantly smoother. That did not happen today with a brand new Schick Proline, but the shave was just as close. The Cobra has some bite and a brand new Feather Pro (my usual blade for razors of this type) will often leave me with a weeper or two and a little extra sting from the aftershave. Two shaves is way too soon for me to draw any conclusions, but these blades made a great first impression.
