No but if you keep an old Schick/Personna case you can use this key & load from the other side.
+1 on that, though I think a Schick case is best. With the Supply anyway you can load a blade by unscrewing the Head. I use a Keyed host dispenser to load Vintage Injectors.No but if you keep an old Schick/Personna case you can use this key & load from the other side.
I've a question - do I retry the V1 before thinking of the V2 or do I just start saving for the latter in the hope I get on with it? I tried the pass around but it was very early in my shaving hobby so I don't know whether I gave it a good enough outing...
Good to know! Thanks for the guidance, fellow lover of Wrights Coal Tar soap!I would give the V1 another try - it took me a week and a blade change (with the Personna PTFE blade) to initially get decent BBS shaves in 3 passes.
Today having used the Proline p-20 blade the performance of the V1 has went up a notch.
You may find that if you cannot get the V1 to work for you, then you may have the same performance difficulties with the V2.
I don't know of anyone who uses plate #1. You're right that #3 is the most aggressive.Think I'm going to try and find a used Supply SE and just want to check on a few things.
One is the mildest and three is the most aggressive plate (and does anyone ever use the #1 plate)?
There is a V1, a revised V1 (sometimes referred to as a V2), and then an actual V2 version ... right?
Is there really much difference between the versions?
You can take it apart and load and manually load a blade or load it 'injector' fashion?
Keep reading that you cannot use a twin-blade .. why not?
Thanks in advance.

You are correct the 0 plate is the mildest and the 000 the most agressive out of the three. I have never used the 0Plate unless I was using a cut down DE blade.Think I'm going to try and find a used Supply SE and just want to check on a few things.

I've not personally used Ingiegogo but it is basically a crowd-funding website, so acts as a vector to purchase from Supply Co. In short, Supply Co. are gathering the money through Kickstarter and/or Indiegogo prior to production and distribution, though they've started issuing the V2.0 to some 'backers'. I'm almost certain this is what happened first time round without any major issue. I've also heard no issues with Supply but there may be a wait considering they're in the early stages of distribution. I was tempted to buy directly but I wasn't sure about customs charges... If I remember correctly the razor in Jet black, with 3 plates in black and postage to UK comes to about $118. If I wasn't unsure about customs charges I may have gone for this option instead of buying used.Instead of buying a used Supply have been looking at a new Supply V2.0 and thinking about ordering one through the 'Indiegogo' website. Anybody ever dealt with them before? Are they reliable?

Quick question - I gave a practice load at lunch-time and was wondering should the blade sit against the stops after loading or should there be a gap between the blade edge and the stops? I know the blade shouldn't drag against the stops when loading, so I was careful to avoid that.
Edit: I think I've found the answer - it should be against the blade stops post-loading! I think it'll be having a quick outing tonight, wish me luck...
