![]() 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. I had removed the cardboard insert as part of disassembling the razor so that may have made it easier. 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. ![]() I like and use Personna carts (2, 3, and 5 blades, various models) and I have never had issues.Īnyway, I will definitely try the Chicks eventually, but I have spent a lot of money lately on shaving supplies so I need to take a buying break.I received the Supply SE with the "open comb" design today. Not that I want to try them, just curious. It might just be the blade.Īren't the Supply blades made by Personna? Are Taconics rebranded Personnas? They are made in the U.S. Plus, I'm not ready to give up on it yet. It makes me think all the glowing reviews on their website are shill reviews.Īlso, if it is ever discontinued, with my luck it will turn into a Schick Type O and be worth more than its weight in gold. It seems like nobody on this forum likes the Supply. I don't want to pass off a bad razor to another member. I decided to take a break today from the Supply and went all Schick: Schick/International Silver/Paul Revere Pewter-like Stainless Steel handle, fixed head, Schick Super II Ultrex cart (that will also fit on a pivoting head.) We will see what I feel like using tomorrow. ![]() your usage of the cart blade(s) you use and you'll see just how bad you are getting gipped and what a racket cart blades are for something that really doesn't work any better or is more convient than a well designed DE or SE razor. Now do the same calculation based on your usage for any of these blades vs. That is how they price the blades which is based on wear not the actual price per piece. That is 20 blades per key or 5 injector keys.įor Gem blades which I get 6 shaves out of a blade they charge $18.85 shipped to the USA for a carton of 100.ġ8.85 dollars / 100 blades = 18.85 cents per bladeġ8.85 cents / 6 shaves ~ 3.1 cents per shave. ![]() If you like Personna blades you can get 100 injector blades for $23.56 shipped to the USA. I'll use Connaught as the vendor since their prices are usually about the best including the shipping factored in. On price per shave you can get between 2 to 3 cents per shave on SE with injectors and Gem blades if you buy by 100 blades. Couple of things on blades, the Chinese Schick blades apparently went up in price most likely due to Covid I am currently finding $6 and change as the low end price for a single key of 7 blades. ![]()
