Second shave and you used a new blade already?
Blade stops do look a bit chunky, and as some have suggested a reduction in mass may improve overall looks. This one is growing in appeal, unlike some of the ones introduced on exclusivity.
First shave today. Plate "OO". Wonderful performance, even with the terrible Personna included in the package.
Blade stops were felt on the face mainly during the second pass. Can't say they felt intrusive.
Chin/under nose areas were absolutely no problem for me, especially in the chin the razor does a splendid job.
Overall very solid feel, terrific ergonomics, fast and easy to manoeuvre, highly recommended (at least for now) in my book provided you have good blades aside. Simple, clean, effective.

When will they be in stock, still says pre-order on their site?
I noticed that. Thought it would be worth trying first.If anyone is interested there is one for sale on UKWSS BST page
We hope to be in stock early fall! Currently working on bringing our new manufacturer onboard. No specific dates available at this time.
Its So Easy to Run a Blade Across the Stops in any Injector when Loading it..Its Common when Folks are Not Used to them & Needs a Constant Mindfulness even for the Experienced Injector User..Got home from working away yesterday to find a nice, if not slightly battered looking, package from Supply. I too had a text from my wife earlier in the week asking why we had to pay twenty something pounds to customs!
Everything inside looked fine and was impatient to give it a try. I got the package with razor, tallow, brush and aftershave lotion so just jumped straight in with the whole lot.
I'm used to using an Omega brush so a synthetic brush didn't worry me and soon had a decent lather and was ready to put blade to face. I tentatively started with some short light strokes and...nothing. The only thing removed from my face was foam. I adjusted my angle and tried again...nothing. What was going on!? After a few moments panicking about receiving a faulty razor or buying some absolute rubbish I decided I should try another blade before jumping to conclusions. New blade in and tried again...success!
It could have been a duff blade or maybe I didn't open the plate enough when loading and ruined the edge. I'd like to hear if this happens to anyone else.
I found the razor to be mild but efficient and had a very close comfortable shave. It wasn't perfect but I wasn't expecting it to be first go. The weight and feel of the Single Edge is very reassuring in the hand and I imagine this being my go to razor most days. I found the aftershave lotion very soothing, was absorbed nicely, and has a pleasant fragrance.
I like the Single Edge a lot. About to order some Schik blades to try in it next!
