Supply provision revised SE razor

It is too bad that is isn't working well on your beard.
I have a quite thick beard, and while I can get a good shave with most injectors, with the exception of the PAL Adjustable and the Schick E, I find them to require more work than I care for. The Supply with any blade performs more efficiently than those two razors, and with an AC blade puts it into an entirely different league. It is my favorite safety razor I have ever owned.

Aren't we all different? The Schick E4 is the razor that introduced me to injector shaving and I absolutely adore it. The Pal I bought a month ago and shaved with it and also loved it. Having said this however, they cannot hold a candle to the SP on plate 2. Next shave I will endeavor to use plate 3 just to see.

I worded that very poorly. Let me re-phrase: The E and PAL are my two favorite injectors, next to the Supply.

A shave buddy of mine has the Supply & also the General of which he swoons over the latter, so much so that he is sending the Supply razor back within their trial guarantee period. One man's trash is another's treasure. Go figure.

I will be at some point be buying the brass General and I will find out but even if better I find the Supply so good I would never send back. Not only good at what it was designed for...shaving but it's one good looking razor to boot! YMMV :)

Whilst I like my Supply razor, I'm compelled to say that I'm in much the same position on the General, which is one of the best razors I've got. The Razorock Hawk is also pretty good, and almost on a par with the General.
I've tended lately to favour the aluminium AC razors over my stainless ones (Mongoose, Rocnel, Claymore). I hope this is just a fad, and not to do with weight, as my USPS/Royal Mail tracking tells me that my brass General is "on the way to the delivery office".
My own feeling vis-a-vis Supply is that the razor itself is great in design, build and handling, but the AC-type blades for the General and other similar SEs knock the socks off the currently-available injector blades for the former; at least those I have and use. That's why I'm interested in cut-down AC and DE blades in the Supply razor. It's a pity that Kai, Feather and Schick (AC Proline P-20 blades) don't make narrower injector blades.

I got both of them. And I love them. They give me a excellent shave but different shave. And thats good for me. So... Both of them are keepers. [emoji6]

Quite right , too. Personally, I never get rid of razors, and I always hope that the ones I like least will suddenly, one day, become wonderful.
Actually, I did sell my Star razor (pictured), but that was a moment of weakness.

Ironically, your views on the General, Supply & Hawk are EXACTLY the same as my buddy who also has all three. I was going to borrow the Supply to try some of my old NOS injector blades and 1/2 modern DE blades as well, but he wants to send it back unscathed for a refund and to be frank I can't fault him for that.

There is the Schick Proline B-20, used in Hairdressers coming in Dispenser without a key. I have so far not been able to source them, one UK seller can get them, but has no plans to stock them yet .
