First shave with the Supply Provision Single Edge.
Many thanks to @Blademonkey and @riverrun for giving me the opportunity to give this razor a go.
Bowl lathered some MWF and used the Personna blade.
I shaved with another pass around razor yesterday, a Schick Injector Adjustable, so the comparison is interesting.
First things first, I do like the way it looks and feels. Far heavier than the schick of course, but it felt reassuringly solid in my hand.
I found the correct shaving angle very easily, but just as with the Schick, for some reason I had to concentrate quite hard to maintain the angle when shaving across the grain. But three very comfortable passes, although I didn't find the Supply Provision quite as manoeuvrable as the Schick, probably because of its weight. I did find that I had to work a little harder on pick ups on my usual troublesome areas, but the result was a very close shave. 30 minutes later and no sign at all of any irritation, and my face feels great! Initial thoughts are that I like the razor, and it performed well. But I found using the Schick a little more fun for some reason. Maybe because I had an image of Roger Moore using one in the bath stuck in my head. It may also be that I am used to razors with a similar weight to the Schick after years of cartridge shaving. So perhaps the Supply will grow on me after a couple more shaves.
Once again, thanks to the guys for giving me this opportunity.
