I recently tried a Supply razor. I like it a lot! I use #2 plate and their blades are fantastic, though they last about the same as my DE blades (I thought they would last longer). I have not seen much discussion of that razor, but I think it's pretty awesome. Very well made, minimalist and an excellent shaver. I am mostly a DE shaver, but I do have an older Schick injector that I rather like. However, the Pella blades I have for it are so-so and they are the best I've tried. Until Supply. The razor I received from Supply came preloaded with one of their blades and that was a problem. That blade was terrible! So bad was it that I contacted Supply and complained that their blades are terrible and are a rip-off. They replied back saying that I should try one of their new blades that came with the set and discard the one that came in the razor as those sometimes get damaged as they are inserted. Well, I followed their advice and was blown away by the fresh Supply SE blade. It was so much better than Pella. Smooth and sharp for at least 8 shaves. I think Supply are doing themselves a disservice by preloading the blades (and damaging the edge on them, evidently). That first impression was terrible. And it was totally due to a very bad decision to preload the first blade for the customer. I hope folks around here have tried this razor and those great blades of theirs. If, like myself, you had a disappointing experience with the preloaded blade, do yourself a favor and try a brand new blade from their pack. You will most likely be impressed. Again, I wonder why there is so little discussion about this razor on here. It's a good razor, well bade at a fairly ok price. I understand that the cheaper version is not stainless, but that is really not much of an issue, is it?
