One blade. Solid steel. 

"I have been using the Single Edge SE for about three years. I will never use any other razor. Just the savings in razor blades has more than paid for the razor. The shave is wonderful. It took a few shaves to get used to the angles, and to let the razor do the work." - David G, 2026

The Supply Single Edge SE razor brings the barber's method home: the blade cuts at the skin's surface instead of dragging beneath it. This razor is designed so nothing moves or flexes: the head is fixed, the blade angle is set. You control the rest. Most men have the angle down inside five to ten shaves - and it pays you back with calmer skin that gets better every week.

GQ's Best Razor for Sensitive Skin, 2026

$59 for the razor. Blades are solid steel, made in Seki City, Japan, about $1 each. 8 to 10 shaves per blade. 30-day money-back guarantee and a lifetime warranty on the razor.

What's Included

Single Edge SE.
Solid zinc alloy handle, zinc alloy head. Fixed head with NickStop Safety Bar. Built to last decades. Two finishes: Classic Matte and Matte Black.

NickStop Bar.
Sixteen micro-fins along the bar regulate how much skin meets the edge. The fins make the learning curve more forgiving. Technique is still required.

Black Label Blade Pack.
Razor ships with eight injector-style blades, solid steel, twice as thick as a standard razor blade. Made in Seki City, Japan. About ninety days of shaves at eight to ten per blade. Non-proprietary. Available from Supply or other brands.

How to Use
  1. Wash your face and apply a dense shaving cream or lather.
  2. Rest the head flat against your skin. Tilt your hand down until the blade engages with the hair. The fixed head keeps the angle for you. Shave in the direction of hair growth.
  3. Use short, light strokes. Don’t apply pressure. The weight of the handle does the work.
  4. Rinse the head often. Re-lather for a second pass across the grain on tolerant skin.

Most men find their pressure and stroke within five to ten shaves.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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 standard 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. A sharp blade is safer than a dull one.

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.

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.

How much do Supply razor blades cost?
A fraction of cartridge refills. A year of Supply blades costs less than a single pack of name-brand cartridge replacements. Each blade lasts 8–10 shaves; a pack of eight covers most men for three months.

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.

What to Expect

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.

Fewer blades. Calmer skin.

Most shaving irritation comes from friction and pressure. Multi-blade cartridges stack cutting edges and drag them across the skin. That increases contact, increases pressure, and often cuts hair below the surface. The result is the irritation, redness, and ingrown hair pattern most cartridge users live with.

The Single Edge SE works differently. One blade cuts cleanly at skin level. Fewer passes. Less friction. A smoother, more controlled shave off one blade.

Single-blade shaving does require adjustment. Pressure matters. Stroke matters. Speed does not help. The SE is designed to make the learning curve more forgiving without removing responsibility from the user. Learn it on the SE - the same one-blade method barbers have used for a hundred years.

Read the one-star reviews first.

4.7 stars across 4,000+ reviews. The one-stars are men who rushed it; the five-stars, men who slowed down and learned the ritual.

Some people give up after the first few shaves. Others slow down and never go back.

Most men find their pressure and stroke within five to ten shaves. The first week is slower than a cartridge. The skin gets better once the technique clicks.

If you already buy fewer, better things and take the time to maintain them, this razor was built for you.

Sixteen micro-fins along the bar regulate how much skin meets the edge. The fins make the learning curve more forgiving. Technique is still required.

Shaving done right!

I was getting so disgusted with safety razors. I had been using one of those cartridges with three blades for years. I grew increasingly frustrated with cost of the blades and the blades only lastly a short time. Since starting with SUPPLY, my shave is closer, more exact, doesn’t irritate my skin and the blades stay sharp much longer. The start-up kit was also a great deal. Shaving cream (instead of the gel I was using), a shaving brush (which really raises the whiskers) and the Healing Post Shave spray really makes me feel refreshed after my shave. (I also bought the marble shaving bowl which really whips up the shaving cream to a nice lather). It’s only been a couple of weeks and I’m loving it so far!

Truly thrilled to hear about that, James! Thank you so much for sharing your experience so far with your SE Starter set! I'm happy that you are getting the best shaves out of it!

Good razor, but skip the black coated version

I've had the Supply SE for about 15 months and use it 2-3 times a week. The shave itself is good. There was a real learning curve; the first few weeks had a lot of irritation, but once I got the angle right, it became my default razor.
Three stars because the matte black coating has not held up. The photos show what I mean: chips along the cap, chips along the handle, bare metal coming through in several spots. I keep it on the stand Supply sells, not on a wet counter, and I'm not rough with it. The finish shouldn't be flaking off this fast. Hence, the two-star deduction.

Overall, I would purchase this again, but not the coated version. Skip the cool black look and go for the uncoated version.

Truly sorry to hear about your experience, Jakub -- We are already working with our manufacturer to ensure that the quality assurance of all of the razors is checked properly to prevent razors with defective coating/finish from being shipped out.

That being said, it appears that my CX team has already helped you with your issue -- Appreciate you for sharing your feedback. Thank you so much!

Trifecta.

I recently purchased the SE & I love it. I have quite a collection of DE razors (some vintage & some newer, that I have collected over the years. My first supply purchase was the Pro as I liked the idea of it being adjustable. The next was the Max. I enjoy both of them but wanted to complete the set so ordered the SE. It’s perfect for my skin which is quite sensitive. I got 12 shaves on my first blade. The SE takes the quesswork out of getting the setting right and is a little more forgiving than the Max. The fact that the blades are so good and last so long, I wouldn’t use anything other than a Supply razor now.

Could it be?

One of the if not THE best. The process is smooth and they provide different settings for when you shave to match what you are looking for, incredible customer service experience for people that STICK to their word and policies. Love this company.

Thank you so much Jacob for the 5-star review! I'm happy that the SE razor is one of the best if not the best, for you -- Truly appreciate it!

SE Starter Set

I got it for my boyfriend because he has always wanted one because the regular multi-bladed razors we're giving him razor burn and nicks. He absolutely loves the single blade razor! It does take a couple shaves to get used to it, but it is really great. He doesn't get nicks and almost no razor burn. Even if he does get any burns, the spray really does the trick and clears them. I got the sandalwood and ceder scent for him and it smells like a nice cologne and lingers, which I love. So, it's safe to say I am very happy with my purchase, thank you.

Convert from Double-Edge Razor

I have been using a 1961-vintage Gillette Fat Boy razor for the past 20 + years and swore nothing was better. I have paired that with Cremo as a pre-shave, and brush on a nice lather of Geo Trumper presoftened shave cream. I needed to try a simpler method for travel and took a chance on the Supply. I love it!!I still use the Cremo and the Trumper, but the actual shaving component is now easier, with far fewer nicks. Of course nothing is better than spending 14 cents for a razor blade, but I can live with the cost of the injector blades. I am hoping to get at least 6 shaves from a blade, rather than the 2 I got with the double-edge. So far-so good.

Thrilled!

I was thrilled to learn about Supply’s single-blade razor and felt hopeful I finally found the perfect razor for me. I have spent years trying different multi- and single-blade razors, ultimately settling for a multi-blade option that, although still left my neck chafed, at least was a reliable product. Having now used the Supply razor three times, I can confidently say it is perfect. My neck has felt no pain and has not chafed once with the Supply razor.

Even more, Supply’s skincare products are also great! I especially love the post-shave spray; it’s awesome. So easy to apply and makes me wonder why I’ve never found a spritzer post-shave product before!

Highly recommend the starter kit!

Thrilled to know that also, Aaron! Appreciate you for sharing your experience and a video as well! Thank you so much!

Supply SE Razor Rose Gold

I found that this razor did not cut as well as the matte one that I had before. Maybe I need to adjust the bottom part below the blade, I'm not sure. For this reason I still will give 5 stars. I appreciate the responsive support team and customer service. Thank you for everything!

Not impressed. 100 day guarantee?

At first I was very impressed, but upon using the SE razor, I was not impressed and realized it wasn’t for me. Over a short amount of time, the color wore off with minimal use. I have reached out to Supply and it doesn’t seem they want to honor the 100 day guarantee. Will not recommend to anyone or purchase from again. Once I mentioned I wanted a full refund, communication stopped on their end.

I'm genuinely sorry about that, Robert and completely understand you here -- We have reached to you via email right now to help you with your concerns right away.

Super close shave

Love this razor! It has such a super close shave and the I love the finish of the metal.

Thank you so much for sharing your video, Cheryl! I really appreciate it! I'm so delighted that you love the shaves you are getting with it! Don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything we can do for you in the future. We love hearing from you!

Santiago Ramirez
Supply razor

I am giving it 3 stars because of two reasons:
1. I have used it for almost 2 weeks now and have not gotten a really close shaving. It feels like the blade does not cut hairs as close to the skin as other razors, leaving a sensation of prickly skin.
2. Design of the handle could be improved as it gets slippery when wet.

Thank you so much for the honest review, Santiago, I appreciate it -- The biggest suggestion I can give is to make sure you're using the correct angle. The 'logo flat to skin' angle is just a rule of thumb -- you can tilt the razor backward a little bit (about 5-10 degrees) to find your sweet spot.

Patience is also a big factor here since you are still learning the ropes of getting comfortable in using your razor -- Doing shorter strokes will also since it'll make sure you are shaving at the optimum angle consistently.

Making shaving enjoyable, again.

I’m gonna be absolutely honest, I’ve been looking at this razor for over six months. As I have tried several types of razors with three blades four blades five blades spending stupid amount of money on blades I even purchased an old-fashioned single razor. I could never get along with it, as shaving actually physically hurts for me because my skin is so sensitive on my face. I took the short quiz on supplies website. It’s recommended the single edge SE for me. This razor is well-made, it is top heavy towards the head and my first shave was OK because I wasn’t sure how hard to press. You don’t have to press at all you basically just balance the razor and let the razor do the work my second shave was phenomenal, finally shaving does not hurt me.

Thank you so much for the phenomenal review, David! I'm truly glad that you are getting 'hurt-free' shaves with your SE razor! Let us know if there is ever anything we can do for you!

Major improvement! So much so I can hardly believe it.

This is awesome. I have never seen a product improvement so huge! I bought the single ledge eight years ago. I haven’t needed to replace it because it’s so well constructed until one day I lost it. So naturally, I had to buy a new one. The new one Single Edge SE is amazing! Love the new Single Edge SE, just a subtle difference made all the difference in the world. I loved the original, except this one takes things to a whole new level. Why you ask? Let me tell you. For one it’s easier to clean two is my favorite part which makes it almost that I can’t even feel like I’m shaving. There’s no razor blade going over my skin. I had to check it three times to make sure that it was working and it was working so well I didn’t even feel the razor Shave my neck, which is always a scary part to shave. It’s incredible. I’m buying one for my father-in-law for Christmas. It’s that good. I wouldn’t have bought one again because my first one lasted me forever, but I lost it in a hotel and the hotel didn’t have it lost and found. The craftsmanship so high that you almost never need to buy another one ever again just don’t forget it in your hotel room like I did.

Wow -- Truly appreciate your review and your video as well! Thank you so much for sharing your story -- it means a lot! If ever there is anything we can do for you, just let us know!

Worth the Learning Curve

I’ll admit, it took a few shaves to get the hang of the SE Starter Set. The angle and feel are different from what I was used to, and I had to slow down and pay attention at first. But after a week or so, the routine clicked—and now I genuinely look forward to shaving. My skin feels smoother, with noticeably less irritation, and the razor itself has a satisfying heft and balance. I appreciate the thoughtful design and quality materials. I’m already considering upgrading to the Max. Supply has won me over.

I'm so happy that the SE Starter set is worth the learning curve, Noah! I'm definitely thankful for your review -- If ever there is anything we can do for you, just let us know!
