Supply Co Pro

Supply Co Black Label Blade

CH2 Synthetic

Antiga Barbearia de Bairro Shave Soap

Antiga Barbearia de Bairro Chiado Aftershave

I received the Supply Co Pro yesterday and given my complete lack of patience, I took it for a spin this morning.  I will say upfront that I have Supply Co V2 razor as well.  I absolutely love V2.  Having read some negative comments on the new Black Label blades I really did not expect much from the blade.  I was pleasantly surprised.  The blade worked great for me.  I found it much better than the Supply Co White label blades that shipped with the V2 razor.  I set the razor for 3 and went to work.  Three passes and minimal touch ups caught the baby with ease.  I found the setup equal to or better than the Supply Co V2 that I used last week.  My initial impressions are very positive.  I will keep using it for a few more days and update my thoughts.

Oh man… this has me excited for tomorrow

Uh oh… mine says “arriving on time” (tomorrow) but doesn’t have confirmed tracking after “in transit” after Austin, TX… is this what yours looks like as well??

I have been following mine and it appeared to have made it most of the way yesterday, I expected to see it on the truck for delivery today and it even said scheduled delivery Tuesday. Just now, they dropped the scheduled delivery. All it says is moving through the system, meaning they don't know where it is. Usually, this results in it showing delivered all of a sudden, but something is off this time. It probably went on a National Tour, sometimes they get sent to the wrong next location and take a lot of stops to get them back on track.

Yikes sorry buddy… I signed up for text / updates from USPS and received satisfying texts this morning stating that it was on the local delivery vehicle for delivery by this afternoon. Try signing up for text alerts and see what happens. Hopefully yours turns up.

No worries, it was their system like usual. All the past tracking updated and it's magically on the truck for delivery.

Supply Pro Shave #1

Overall packaging and razor finishing appears top notch. Didn’t know that a pack of the black label blades was included at this price! Pretty sweet surprise! I went with the gray rubber grip for some contrast with the matte black.

As far as the shave goes, slightly harsh initially, but I suspect that I shouldn’t have gone up to 5 on the first pass considering my last shave was 23 hours ago … but I was all excited to find out how efficient it could be.

5, 4, then 2 for cleanup. Very smooth face feel post shave with only slight irritation - but no weepers or cuts (which have been known to occur with my sensitive skin with previous Supply razors). I’ll try shave #2 with a slightly lower setting tomorrow and see how it goes.

Happy Shaves All.

Well, I guess I don't have to post a picture since I have exactly the same setup. 
Having already read reviews of the Black Label blades, I gambled on 3 additional packs due to the Kickstarter pricing. I also got the razor stand and am glad I did, it's heavy! 

Shavo numero uno para migo:

With any new razor, I grab a credit card and check the blade exposure. With this adjustable, I am able to get it right where I want it; just barely catching. That is #4 and I can see using #5 next time. 

Being experienced with injector, I know how to get the blade angle right for maximum effectiveness. With the Black Label blade, this thing is smooooth. So smooth that I don't think I can properly evaluate these blades on anything other than being sharp enough not to tug. They feel less likely to cause irritation than some Artist Club blades while still being sharper than, say, a Kai Pink Mild blade. They are probably closest to Prolines. In DE terms, they are probably closest to one of the Gillette Platinums. I don't know if they will be as smooth as vintage Plus Platinums, but I intend to figure that out!

The razor itself, loaded with blade, is exactly 90g. Under the expected weight and right at the top of my preferred range. It feels substantial compared to the vintage injectors I am familiar with, but in a good way. I won't go so far as to say that the weight helps it work because it doesn't feel like a heavy DE does, probably because of the handle angle. I will say it does feel slower, in a good way, than my vintage injectors. The grip sleeve is a pleasant surprise as it rounds out the rectangular feel of the handle and I prefer fat handles. I will be acquiring several spares as they are likely to get nasty and have to be cut off due to the tightness.

Shaving wise, it's an injector and doesn't do anything different due to the head design. Did I mention how tame this thing feels while clearly plowing right through tough thick patches of hair? I feel like I could do as many passes as I wanted, but don't have a need to. Going up to #5 on the first pass should reduce the amount of buffing necessary, but I think I can dial it back to #4 and leave it there for the rest of the shave. Maybe #3 if I have some previous irritation. #1 would be safe for body shaving, because it is negative, if you dare!

PS: The grip sleeve has shaping that allows it to sit much higher than pictured, but I don't blame anybody for not getting it all the way up! I did because I am stubborn and like to grip higher up.
