Ok, I was a skeptic. I've seen claims about razors my entire life. This or that new technology was going to give me the best shave ever, etc. I've been through all the stages of Gillette offerings. And Schick. And in recent years, Harry's. Basically Gillette found my point of no return when I went in to my drugstore to buy refill blades and they were behind locked doors and about to set me back $50 bucks! So I gave Harry's a try. Their "German" blades were pretty good for a while and defintely priced right. But when they put themselves up for sale to a larger group, the so-called "German" blades turned into nick city...
And then I saw a pic of the Single Edge Max on Instagram and thought, hmm, single edge, are we going all the way back to when I used to watch my dad shave when I was a kid. The idea intrigued me, so I thought I'd give it a try. I've long known about Japanese forging techniques, as I use Japanese made golf clubs which are totally superior to American made. So I popped for the SE Max.
And I'm here to tell you I was shocked. My first shave with the Max, I had to look in a shaving mirror to be sure it was actually working. Never felt anything like the glide this thing produced. It was, as Supply says, like sweeping across my face, not shaving it. Unbelievably smooth. Effortless. I couldn't believe it. So, impressed as I was, I tried the platinum blades. And amazingly they were even better. These people were onto something!
Intrigued, I ordered some of their other products too. The after shave and moisturizer were equally impressive. No sting or burn after shaving. Just more smooth and even soothing. Great scents, not overpowering.
So, bottom line, I'm a total convert. These people make incredible products for men. Every one of them delivers as advertised. Most especially the Max and everything else built to support the absolutely unique shave it gives.
I've now dedicated a shelf in my bathroom to Supply. And I actually look forward to shaving for the first time in a very long time. Total thumbs up to Supply.
