Well after a long awaited time I have finally had the opportunity to use the renowned "Streamline."
It is a recent purchase but I had to wait for a new bottle of Barbicide before I could use it.
It has been my Holy Grail and I have to thank @Blademonkey for sending me on this path.
Using the lightest of feather touches I am truly amazed by this razor.
She is so, so audible and removes whiskers for fun. The weight, balance and build is far superior to anything I have had reviewed in the Gem range.
YMMV but she really is an aggressive little madam and needs to be treated like your first date. A little cwtch (cuddle in English) and perhaps a peck on the cheek before you put her to bed.
All I can say is WOW!.
Two passes is all I wanted this evening because this lady will take a layer of your epidermis without asking you.
BBS and DFS around the neck area I am truly amazed by her.
I used the best Hardware that I own this evening to give this razor the credit she deserves.
Big shout out to @Blackmass for his advice and sourcing this brush. Big shout out for @Bandito for supplying it. Big shout out to @wayne mattison who gifted me this soap, (Yes guys for free) and finally a big shout out for @Olie29 who I bought the S.V Bowl from.
I know this has become more of an essay than the SOTD but I simply wanted to try and explain that I have found my "Holy Grail!"
Good night and God Bless all.
Wayne
Whaaaaat! You didn't know he owned an S.V? ...
Did you have the old Supply SE Razor? Is the new one much better?

Thankyou, P.Hi yes, much better in terms of efficiency.
The ** plate on the v2.0 with the personna gave a BBS in 3 passes. The same set up on the v1.0 for me was no where close to that - 4 passes and touch ups required.
To get BBS with the v1.0 on plate ** I used the proline.
With the v1.0 on the first pass I was never sure that the blade was shaving. With v2.0 more audible feedback and sone blade feel.
I had a 2 pass shave this morning with the Supply-SE v2.0, personna blade on day 3, and I'm DFS +. No time for a third pass, unfortunately.
I think v2.0 will be a classic - very efficient and robust razor. As always YNMV.
If you like v1.0 the I think you will love v2.0.
All the best,
Chris
Thankyou, P.
