I am now 73 years old. More than 50 years ago my father taught me how to shave with a double edge safety razor. I used that style of razor for many years and was very satisfied with it. In the early 70s safety razors with twin blades were introduced followed by triple bladed razors in the late 90s. Then came four bladed razors, five bladed razors, six bladed razors – and now a seven bladed razor. Advertisements heralded the addition each additional blade as a technological breakthrough that promised closer shaves, smoother skin, a necessity for personal happiness and fulfillment.
I bought into this trend until the advent of four bladed razors. I stuck with a three bladed razor for many years. However, I found that the addition of all these blades did not live up to the hype that accompanied them.
When I read the reviews of the Supply razor I was intrigued because it seemed to promise the shaving experience I had so many years ago. I was also very skeptical due to advertising hype and exaggerations that are so common these days. For this reason I held off buying one for a long time.
A short while ago I took the plunged and bought one. I honestly expected to be disappointed in it – both in the quality of its construction and in the shaving experience that it provides.
I am happy to report that I was wrong on both accounts. The quality of the razor is superb and the shaving experience is exception. The razor has an excellent weight and balance, the blade is incredibly sharp, and the shaving experience is a joy.
What can I say? It is a great product….
