What does SE stand for?
Originally Sensitive Edition. The name stuck. The SE is the more forgiving of Supply's two razors: fixed head, NickStop micro-fins, blade slightly off the skin. More forgiving than the MAX, less forgiving than a cartridge. Razor burn comes from pressure and overdue blades, not from the razor itself.

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?
Standard injector-style blades, in production for over 100 years and available from multiple brands. Supply's blades are twice as thick as modern razor blades for less flex, less drag, and a cleaner cut. Buy them from Supply or from other retailers.

How long do Supply razor blades last?
Eight to ten shaves per blade. A pack of eight lasts about three months at 5–6 shaves a week. Replace at the first sign of tugging, not on a schedule. A sharp blade is safer than a dull one.

Do I need the brush and the cream, or can I use what I already have?
The brush and cream are in the kit because they change the shave more than people expect. A brush-built lather softens the hair before the blade reaches it. Canned foam sits on the surface and doesn't. Without that softening, the blade has to work harder, which means more passes and more irritation. You can shave with a Supply razor and a different lather. You'll get the most from the kit using all five pieces together.

What is the difference between the Supply SE and the Supply MAX?
The SE has a fixed head with NickStop fins that hold the blade at a consistent angle. Supply's most forgiving razor, built for men new to single-blade shaving. The MAX has a pivoting head and exposes more of the blade at skin level for a closer shave, but requires more control. Start with the SE if you're new. The MAX is for shavers who already have the technique and are looking for the closest shave.

Is this a good gift?
Yes. Built for men trying single-blade shaving for the first time, which is most people. Ships with a card explaining the technique. Lifetime warranty on the razor. 30-day return on the kit. If the technique isn't for him, send it back.

Will the Supply razor help with razor bumps and ingrown hairs?
Single-blade shaving is one of the most effective ways to reduce both. Cartridges with stacked blades cut hair below the skin surface, which causes hair to curl back and grow inward. The SE cuts at the surface with one blade. Shaving with the grain on the first pass and mapping the neck hair direction make the biggest difference. Most men see improvement within the first few weeks.

Five to ten shaves to adjust. A shave that gets better the longer you stay with it.

• A learning curve over the first five to ten shaves
• Lighter pressure than a cartridge. The weight of the handle does the work.
• Calmer skin once the technique clicks.

30-day money-back guarantee. Longer than the learning curve.
Lifetime warranty on the razor.
