The best shave I ever had was at a barbershop. One blade, no rush.

"It may take you time to get used to how to load the cartridge blade. It may take you time to find the right gentle touch you need. But over time you will never regret using Supply razors and products. They are like no other."

Why Switch

The multi-blade cartridge is the problem.

Five blades dragging across your skin is the reason for the burn, the bumps, and the ingrowns – and you're paying a premium for the privilege.

How to insert Max blades

01. The cartridge tax

Brand-name cartridges run $3–$5 each. A single edge blade costs about $1. Ours are twice as thick as standard razor blades and made in Seki City, Japan.

02. Multi-blade irritation

Each pass tugs and lifts the hair before cutting it. More blades means more drag, more redness, more ingrown hairs.

03. More exposure. Fewer passes.

The MAX exposes more blade than the SE. That is where the extra closeness comes from, and it is why it rewards a steady hand. Fewer passes over the same stretch of skin.

 THE CLOSEST SHAVE SUPPLY MAKES

One Blade. Solid Steel.

The MAX exposes more blade than the SE and has no fins to hold the edge off your skin. That is where the closer result comes from. It is also why pressure and angle show up faster here than on the SE.

Light pressure. With the grain on the first pass. Short strokes.

Five to ten shaves to learn the angle. Rush it and you will feel it.

How it Works

One blade, built to last a lifetime

  • 1

    Load a single blade.

    The SwitchBlade system seats the blade on three posts in the head, at the angle the head was built for. Five seconds. You never touch the edge.

  • 2

    Shave with the grain.

    Let the weight of the solid-metal handle do the work. Less pressure, shorter strokes, one clean pass.

  • 3

    Swap for about $1

    Replace the blade when it dulls, 8 to 10 shaves per blade. With this offer, your first year of blades ships free.

 THE CLOSEST SHAVE SUPPLY MAKES

Three posts. Three holes.

The MAX exposes more blade than the SE and has no fins to hold the edge off your skin. That is where the closer result comes from. It is also why pressure and angle show up faster here than on the SE.

Light pressure. With the grain on the first pass. Short strokes.

Five to ten shaves to learn the angle. Rush it and you will feel it.

Questions

Before you switch.

Is the Single Edge Max razor right for me?

If your angle and pressure are already second nature, yes — the MAX exposes more blade and gets you closer for it. Plan on five to ten shaves to learn the angle. If you have never used a single blade, the SE has a fixed head and NickStop fins that give you a wider margin while you learn. The 30-day money-back guarantee covers the whole learning curve either way.

How much do blades actually cost?

About $1 each, and one blade lasts 8 to 10 shaves — a pack of 8 covers about three months. With this offer your first year of blades is free; after that, about $32 a year in blades, plus $5.99 shipping per delivery. Black Label packs are $8, Platinum Label $12. Brand-name cartridges run $100–$200+ a year.

What does “12 months of blades free” include?

You get the Single Edge MAX at $59 (or the MAX Shave Set at $79) with 8 blades in the box. We ship 8 more every three months for the rest of the year, free — 32 blades in total, about a year of shaves. It runs as a subscription so the blades arrive on schedule. After the free year it continues at $8 per pack plus $5.99 shipping, and we'll email you before anything is charged. Cancel or change anytime.

Will my SE blades work in the MAX?

No. The SE takes two-hole injector blades and the MAX takes three-hole. The third post is what keeps the blade rigid under a pivoting head.

How does the pivoting head work?

It follows the contours of your face so the blade angle stays consistent from cheek to jaw to neck. It adds stability. Pressure and pace are still yours.

What if I don't like it?

You have 30 days to try it — longer than the learning curve. If the shave isn't for you, send it back for a full refund. The razor itself is guaranteed for life.

 Is this the razor from Shark Tank?

It is. We pitched the Single Edge on ABC's Shark Tank in 2019 — the Sharks fought over it. Same company, now with 500,000+ razors sold. The MAX is the closest-shaving razor we have built since.
