Supply V1 vs V2

The Prolines are significantly better than the Personna Blades and give a much smoother shave.

I would certainly delay your decision until they arrive.

Better still are vintage blades or the modern Chinese Schick Blades (if you can get hold of some for a decent price). The Chicks transformed my experience of the razor significantly. [emoji846]

You prefer the Schicks to the Prolines? Truly, ymmv!
 
SOTD Putting a Feather blade made the Supply a great shaver. Now I understand what people meant with effortless shaves, etc. The Personna blade is pulling the hairs of my beard out rather than cutting them. I tried to cut the Feather with shears but that gave an ugly bend, so I used an angle grinder. This is not at all what I wanted, since the Feather blades are much more expensive. So, I don't want the angle grinder to become a fixed part of my morning shave. Let's see how the prolines will fare; Japan is far, though.zDSC_1924_S -small.jpg
 
I tried the Proline blades in injector size for almost a week now. The prolines work and are for me sharper than the Peronnas. After 6 uses they don't seem to have lost much sharpness, so I am optimistic about longevity. The prolines could be the reason that I want to continue to explore the Supply.

Anybody have an idea whether the 1 dot plate differs between V! and V2? I use the 1 dot in the V1 for use with feather blades, that is why.
 
I have the version 2 with all three plates never having used the version 1 I can't compare
What I can say is that this is fast taking over from my 39c with a feather blade as my go to
razor which is something I thought I wouldn't said as love my 39c. As for the blade in my
supply I'm using the supplied blade and have had no issues with it and it's on 7th use as
for plate I find no 2 does a great job plate 1 find to mild after three pass still required touch ups
yet to try 3.
 
I have a Supply V1 and even on a 3 dot plate could not get a consistently good shave. I managed to get a V2 No3 plate from Supply and found that I could get a fairly good Shave but nothing to write home about. I do have a heavy strong growth and need to Shave Daily. I have been using Schick and Schick Prolines which are my favourites to use in Injectors.

As I had come to the end of a Blade run, for some inexplicable reason I decided to use a Personna Blade which I had stopped using in my early Injector days when I discovered Schick blades. I have now had 3 really good Shaves using this blade, and I would now be Happy to use this Razor/Blade combo for a Special Occasion Shave, the finish quality is that good.
