Yes you're probably right on both counts, Matt black and bought in the UK. It is for me a great razor too although I tend just to use the aggressive plate. I like it so much I even bought the mirror polished one as well as the satin finnish, fantastic razor in use and killer looks....what's not to like?I would love a matt black one....but I will probably wait until they reach the UK. I just got the current model last week. I have had 4 three pass BBS shaves and am actually quite shocked as to how effortless the shaves have been. I am really, really impressed. I havent even tried the agressive plate yet!
Well yes, infact I'm using one today, a cut down Personna 74 with a shim made out of a slightly shorter peice of razor blade to ensureDid we ever get a final verdict on how using cut down DE blades in this razor worked? Blademonkey?
Hehe good on you. I didn't have a problem with the blade flex but will give a shim a try.Well yes, infact I'm using one today, a cut down Personna 74 with a shim made out of a slightly shorter peice of razor blade to ensure
I eliminated any blade flex and it seems to work just fine, giving me real close shaves. The shim was the point it became a safe option because before that the cutting edge of the blade had a tendency / oppertunity to chatter or flex a little so I've not only increased the thickness of the blade being held in the razor head with the addition of the shim I've eliminated any flex, so now just the last 2mm of the cutting blade is now visible . So although the SE purists will be jumping up and down shouting it not an SE blade I've refined someone else's idea with the addition of the shim and it works just fine. Any DE blade you like you can now safely use in the Supply and get a great shave at a fraction of the cost of Schick or even Personna SE blades. If you need any further info give me a shout.
