![]() Supply is now selling a full line of wet shaving products in addition to their razor, including a Silvertip Synthetic Brush, Ultra Lather Shaving Cream, aftershave, a Single Edge Starter Set, and other skin care products and accessories. Check out my full review of the Alloy version at Supply Single Edge Alloy Razor – How Does It Stack Up Against The Original? What Else Is Supply…Supplying? It looks and performs almost exactly the same as the Stainless Steel version. There is also a new, lower-cost “Alloy” version of the razor. It’s created by bombarding the surface of the razor with titanium ions inside a vacuum chamber. using a military grade finish called Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). The most recent version has taken care of that issue–every blade has loaded cleanly and evenly for me, on every base plate.Īlong with the classic chrome version two black versions of the razor are available ( Jet Black and Matte Black). It wasn’t a big deal for me to re-align the blade but it was annoying when it happened. On Version 1, every now-and-then an Injector blade would get inserted a bit “cockeyed” with the Mild base plate in my experience. □ Supply v2 (left) and v1 (right)īlade loading has been improved. High tolerances are especially important in good razors. It’s a high-quality manufacturing technology with a very high upfront investment cost but extremely accurate tolerances. MIM is relatively new and typically used in medical and aerospace manufacturing. The latest Supply Single Edge razor is manufactured using a “ metal injection molding” (MIM) process. Blade exposure and blade gap have been tweaked with all three base plates. The center-of-gravity is ever-so-slightly further down the handle, at least on my semi-scientific balance-it-on-the-edge-of-a-ruler test. My “version 2” razor is 110 grams (all weights include blade). This is still a very heavyweight razor (maybe I should call it a superweight, after the “heavy duty” and “super duty” designations from a certain truck manufacturer): the specs for the new version say it weighs the same 110 grams as V1, though on my digital kitchen scale V1 is two grams heavier at 112 grams. But the latest Supply razor has changed in subtle but important ways. Visually, the two razor versions look identical to me. ![]() After another successful crowdfunding campaign, Supply released “version 2” and I bought one to see what has changed. In 2017 I looked at the first production version of the Supply single edge razor. Back in 2015 I was one of the lucky testers of a prototype razor from Supply that takes “ Injector” style blades. This article will remain active as an archive of Supply’s previous razors for those looking for background information and the “pre-owned” market.
