THE END OF REPLACEMENTS

Every added blade adds friction.

Your barber never used five blades. He used one. The industry added blades to sell more cartridges and every added blade meant more contact, more friction, more irritation, and refills that cost more every year. One blade, held at the right angle, cuts once at the skin's surface.

The Single Edge asks more of you than a cartridge does. That's the point.

Sharpologist has covered wet shaving for over 15 years. The full Single Edge SE review is linked above, read it before you buy. There's still a learning curve: most men have the angle down inside five to ten shaves. The 30-day money-back guarantee runs longer than the curve.

Common Questions

Straight answers on blades, cost, and the learning curve.

Is a single edge razor better than a cartridge razor?

A single edge cuts cleanly at the skin's surface. Cartridges stack blades that multiply friction and drag. Most men who switch report less irritation, razor burn, and bumps, especially on the neck. The tradeoff is technique. For men willing to learn, the result is better skin and a closer shave over time.

What blades does the Supply Single Edge SE use?

Any standard injector blade - a format in production for a hundred years. Supply's are solid steel, made in Seki City, Japan, twice as thick as a standard razor blade for less flex and a cleaner cut. About $1 each, and one blade lasts 8 to 10 shaves. Buy them from us or anywhere else.

Is the Supply Single Edge SE good for beginners?

Yes. More forgiving than the MAX, less forgiving than a cartridge. The fixed head and NickStop micro-fins hold the blade at a consistent angle, which reduces the guesswork. Most men find their pressure and stroke within five to ten shaves. The first week is slower; the skin gets better once the technique clicks.

Is this the razor from Shark Tank?

It is. We pitched the Single Edge on ABC's Shark Tank and walked away with a deal. Same razor, now with 500,000+ sold and 4.7 stars across 4,000+ reviews.
