    Very cool injector. Bravo In coolness factor, the D Type is right there with the Schick Repeaters and the F Type.

    The Supply Co injector is a very cool looking razor. The black finish just amps everything up. Excellent lineup John.

    Fell a little behind broke out Arko and Clubman yesterday for my comparison great shave love how well and easy Arko lathers. Went back to Seville and Fine AB today what an amazing scent combo.

    Thank you, Clint! Its just about perfect on the aggression scale too. Much smoother then the PAL IM or the E2 (Or Type F for that matter), but a level or two more efficient then the G1.

    Thanks, gentlemen! I kickstarted the original Supply Provision Single Edge and really liked it. But then they came out with that black version and I just had to have it. Fortunately, they made a few changes in the razor, such as making the blade stops smaller and more streamlined, so that allowed me to rationalize to myself buying a second one of the same injector. Do the changes really make all that big a difference to the way the razor shaves? Truthfully ... no. But I am quite happy to have this black one anyway (especially since it matches my Gillette adjustables). I will probably eventually sell or PIF the original matte stainless one...

    Italian soap & AS balm, German brush & razor, Japanese bowl? At least I satisfied Cartel prerogatives with a Russian blade. Easy lather when the vintage boar attacked the sensitive soap. Gulag cookie scented Oatmeal and Teatree lather applied, I used the aggressive side of the NOS DE for all three passes. Very smooth procedure for each pass, & having enough left over lather chin buffing and hyper accentuated slides left me into a high DFS zone. Checked my technique with an alum swipe - nary a squeak. Applied alcohol free balm for that extra bit of moisturizing.
    Good Shaves Y'all!

    We've got this, John! As long as we don't forward each other Black Friday sale info, we've got a fighting chance...
    Thank you.
    What isn't?... besides Neal's GEM boxcutter blades...:happy102:
    What do you think of the Blue Balm, Rick? I wasn't digging the scent at first, but it is growing on me a bit. It goes nicely with Palmolive, it seems.
    Merci.

    Thanks!

    The Maseto brush is a 2 band and it is fantastic. I highly recommend it. It was $42 shipped.

    See, skin stretching works, it looks like you got a very close shave without irritation. Not to mention the no more wrinkles too.
