Some ask, why is a single blade razor better? I answer the question and review the Supply Single Edge Pro in this fine video. I even cut myself on camera. That's right; blood, sweat and tears. Okay no tears...the things I do for this channel. I do go over my journey and why a single blade razor is better and review the Supply Single Edge Pro with all the fine details.

That is by far the most honest introduction in a video related to cartridge and safety razors! Everyone that talks about safety razors is pushing the purchase of safety razors….not you! So a big thank you to you!
And I will stick with my Gillette, pro glide power, and Gillette skin guard razors. I get a wonderful shave from both of these razors, never cut myself, no nicks, no irritation, just a clean, smooth shave. Whereas, every time I try a safety razor, and I mean every single time I used a safety razor, I got cuts and nicks. To me, safety razors, suck!
Thanks for the wonderful praise. Sorry you had a hard time with safety razors. Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke right?
Thank you Sir! You have my highest praise!
@@FashionableFather Yes, absolutely right: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
They don't suck u just don't know how to do it is all no shame in that no for everyone I can shave my head 2 passes sometimes one is fine enough in 2 mins bro in the shower with a brush and cream at that lol
A quick tip i learned from my grandpa - medicated chapstick will heal those tiny cuts quickly.
Fantastic tip!
Petroleum gelly does the same thing.
Alum block for me.
It's an astringent and feels rather nice, I keep my in a cool place and it feels super soothing. Disinfects, cleans, soothes, and it's also a styptic; stops bleeding, or in my case, that pesky weeping mole.
Nothing like a 2 minute cold water shower on your face. Seriously the best thing😊
You’ll never get a cut or nick from the Gillette Proglide razor or a Gillette skin guard razor. Why torture yourself with a safety razor?
I tried the new SE* for the first time with its new knick-stop guard and it’s my favorite razor I’ve ever owned! I came from the Single Edge Pro too and my pet peeve was how much hair i noticed got stuck in it. However, it was probably my fault since I’m still new to making a good shaving lather so I’m going to try using the marble bowl Supply has and see how it works! As always, I appreciate your videos. You’ve inspired me to shave better and I can’t thank you enough and I’ve gotta say, you deserve a lot more subscribers :)
These words are truly gratifying and so very inspiring. It’s so awesome to know when I’ve helped someone and I can’t thank you enough for sharing that with me!
I’ve been going through more than a few of your videos lately, because i love the film style -it feels quite authentic- and am thinking of moving away from my gillette to a single/double blade razor or even a straight razor. I have a very steady hand but i have heard it’s rather tricky to pick up so i was perusing for a middle ground when i found your content. I’m also learning new things that could improve my shave like the oil you use, shaving against the grain, or even the ice cube trick, i’m currently looking at the supply SE still searching. Thank you for your wonderful help!
Glad to know the videos have helped. Being new to single edge I’m going to recommend the SE, it’s easier and still gives a very smooth shave. However I also love the leaf; ruclips.net/video/Xbj3GQkFm2E/видео.html. Super easy shave as well. And yes the ice is fantastic; feel it’s a game changer.
Ironically, everyime I used the SE I would cut myself. Once I switched to the PRO, I have over 20 shaves and haven't even knicked myself once. Its a remarkable razor.
Interesting, the pro is a great razor!
What setting do you use on the pro?
Yeah me too. Not sure why
I've been using a safety razor for a few weeks and the more I learn, the more I love it. I do suggest that you try an alum block and the styptic pencil.
Since you like the cold temperature against your skin you can probably soak the alum block with ice water.
Only two weeks and dropping that knowledge! Thank you. Yeah I’ll have to look into that alum block and pencil. Especially the block in ice, totally my speed. Great recommendation.
I have the Henson because it doesn't need learning curve. No cut even the first time of use. But the best for sensitive skin is an electric one
I would recommend you try the Merkur - Razor FUTUR 700 adjustable razor. It is well made, cost less, does not have the issues you mentioned the Supply Edge Pro has, and does a better shave than Supply's razors. Its made in Germany too :)
You’re not the first to recommend the Merkur. I may have to get that one soon. Thanks for watching and the recommendations!
There are many ajustable safety razor using a knob. My first safety razor was an ajustable one using rotation knob at the base of the handle, it was a cheap razor from china and it was not great at all. After trying about a dozen different safety razors, I settled on the Razorock BBS A. My favorite blades are Wilkinson Sword by Gillette (made in india), my favorite brush is a Yaqi Tuxedo knot and my favorite soap is Stirling. I have yet to try the ice cube at the end of the shave, will sure do it next time.
Stirling!!! Love their soaps as well! The ice cube is a game changer. Thank you for your recommendations. I may have to look into the those blades and razors.
Hey guy
I understand I’ve try different razors myself as well.
I’m getting the se model today
I’ve try safety razor blade as well certain ones did better than others and found I do better with a mild razor.
I use to use feather blades forever but my skin and age have changed so had to go to a mild razor
Well I figured out after a few tries that this razor works great razor it definitely shaves closer than a safety razor.
The two things how how hard and angle oh one more prep
Great video man! Love the comedy and the great info!! Keep it up! 👊🏼
👊🏻right back atchya. Thanks for watching and always nice to know I got a laugh.
Glad to see another man of culture using ice after a shave.
Right?! The ice is so perfect.
@@FashionableFather 100%, and it reduces any inflammation from cuts and seems to make the skin look healthier.
I use cold water plus aluminum blocks as well be after shave lotion unsented
One razor I think you will love is the Karve Overlander. It is made in Edmonton, AB, Canada by a small machine shop. It has a cult following. The Overlander is super smooth yet efficient. I love my Henson AL13 mild but prefer the Overlander. The handle comes with a choice of lengths and has a great grip. I have the aluminum version which comes in anodized black, which is really cool. Check it out.
My goodness that overlander is perrrrty! I’m actually liking the brass one.
@@FashionableFather I was thinking of buying the Karve Overlander in brass but I decided instead to buy the aluminum version. Why? My first DE razor was a Henson so I am used to lightweight razors. Second, there is no tarnish or patina on the aluminum. Third, I am lazy and don’t want to polish a razor.
09:45 I thought you were calling an alum block - "ice", but no, you are actually using ice. I should try it next time. I usually finish my shave with an alum block and then rinse with cold water. Icing the face can be interesting.
I absolutely swear by the ice. Of course you could throw an alum block in the freezer? I might try that.
Shout out for the Kizer Feist he used to open the box with.
Love my knife. Assume you’re rockin one?
Thanks for this. Just got one of the pros. I'm looking forward to using it.
Start on a lower number at first. I use 4 now at the closest.
guess im not the only new person here.
i interested to know what u think of the shave and experience 3 weeks later. if you see this msg.
@@user-xf1ur3hu4z actually, I got the other one. Not the pro. I love it man.
The higher number is for a farther shave not more aggressive as stated by their company
Aaaaand you are incorrect.
Well I try my Henson razor is better for me.
I find that the Henson it’s very efficient it doesn’t give me a better for me.
I’ll give the se a try again tomorrow 😊
Wow, just discovered your channel... you have a real treasure trove of content here!
Appreciate your candid feedback of this razor. I've never used Supply yet, but saw an add and was intrigued. Looking forward to starting w/ the SE :D
But man, saw that knife you used and had to ask... where can I get that?
It's a one-handed opener is that correct?
Welcome to humble channel and thank you for the compliment. Very inspiring.
I've come to realize sometimes these razors are not for everyone.
Mentioning the knife hurts. I lost the damn thing, and I LOVED that bad boy. So long answer; ruclips.net/video/_O6WxyE_Sew/видео.html
Short answer; amzn.to/46w4B3k. Its price; I got it when it was cheaper. But oh so sad.
Yeah its a one handed opener, but it doesn't have a notch so not as easy as others I've learned.
just seen a commercial for this on youtube.
i would like to shave to skin, but the cost is just insane. so i bought hair clippers. ofc use no guards and call it good enough. lol.
but i always look for a cheap good way to shave properly. it blows me away there seems to be no good, reasonable way in america to shave properly anymore.
for a country that is supposed to be about stopping waste, carbon footprints and stuff. they sure have no problem with waste when it puts money in their pockets......
Did you notice a difference in the closeness of shave between the SE and Pro?
I shaved with the SE for three weeks and felt it didn't get that close. It got close enough, but the Pro was definitely closer in my opinion. My direct comparison didn't go so well, lol.
@@FashionableFather I noticed the same with the SE but I will be upgrading to the Pro thanks to your video
Awesome! You’ll be happy. That dial/knob is fantastic!
Bro, i would also recomend da Henson Razors to people. I hear people say they are very forgiving
I've seen these. They look very nice, and I would guess they are more forgiving. I feel double edge in general are more so.
Henson tore my throat up.
All these people wrote review about this SE blade razor are paid by the company to write these reviews, because no one saying much about this razor to works great or stay with your Gillete, how I often I need to change the blade for the SE?
I have the SE and I am totally wishing that I would have sprung a few extra bucks for the pro!
Do you need closer? To be honest I use the SE more than the Pro.
@@FashionableFathertrying to decide between the se and the pro right now. I recently started using the original razor they sold 5+ years ago and I’m kind of fed up with it. I do have pretty soft skin but I’ve tried all 3 heads it comes with, different techniques, etc. and every time I mess my face up 😂 specifically at the bottom of my neck, razor burn, bumps, ingrown hairs. The se seems intriguing for this reason but as does the pro for all of its adjustability
Given your troubles with the original; I’d go with the se. The pro can get close and clogs hair more. SE is super easy and intuitive. Also is your hair not too coarse?
@@FashionableFather it grows kind of curly when it gets longer but shorter stuff is pretty smooth I wouldn’t say very coarse at all after ~2-3 days of no shaving
@I53-624 yeah SE for sure.
Thanks for the review. Just discovered your channel. You convinced me to stick with my Gillette cartridge razor which gives me a great shave with no irritation.
I’ve shaved with the supply pro and I think I’ll be returning it. Adjusting it is close to impossible with wet hands. And I have a lot of irritation from the razor. The angle is not intuitive for me which results in scraping and irritation.
I didn’t have those issues; but I understand someone could. What did you shave with before?
@@FashionableFather I have no issues with cartridges. I had similar irritation issues with Leaf Twig but now that razor works for me. Perhaps I should hone in my technique. Do you by chance know how to disassemble and clean the pro?
Love the Leaf. But if cartridges work for you…
@@FashionableFather cartridges get me out the door quickly but. I actually feel like a man when shaving with sharp blades.:)
@@FashionableFather also, I’ve decided to keep the supply pro and try Schlick blades . Perhaps it’s the black label blades that caused an issue for me.
Liked and subbed! Thanks dude!
Thank you! Welcome to my humble channel.
Is there a difference under the nose between the SE and the Pro?
I think the pro is easier for under the nose
How does it compare to the Henson razor?
absolutely important - must be able to take apart the head and remove and clean and dry the head parts and the blade - otherwise, razor is not good
What kind of oil are you using before shaving?
@@AttilaElias I use shave secret; amzn.to/4ghkGiv or somerset; amzn.to/3XhBBbM
Thank you 🙏 @@FashionableFather
Great video
i wouls go for and i did a SE using a DE blade snapped in half not a Proprietary blade it sucks you can only use one blade
Injector blades have been manufactured for many years. Multiple companies make them. Ie; amzn.to/3jClXHL
Do these help with ingrown hairs well? I currently use a single edge razor and still struggle with ingrowns
Ingrowns are tuff. I’d say be super gentle and not too close. This is advice from others experienced not my own. I have irritation on my neck that I’m always gentle with and try not to be too close. Seems to help. I think less blades is always better. Also try letting your growth get a little long. Longer hair for me is easier to shave.
I'm looking for something for styling facial hair. The cartrage razer's multiple blades makes it hard for me to know how far, or how much I'm cutting.
Oh a single blade is way better. I think maybe you might have more precision with a double edge. But supply is an amazing razor as well.
@@FashionableFather So you recommend the Pro?
@@FashionableFather Also what blade do you recommend for the Pro?
@@johnnyrivera7665 The blades that come with it are great but when I buy more it will be feather. Also to be honest I was shaving with it and to shape a beard would be a lil difficult. I do think a double edge would be more precise.
@@FashionableFather Thanks, I already own a double edge safety razor. I'm not really good at using it, seeing as I get irritated skin everytime I use it. But I will try and purchase those blades. See if that'll help.
can you snap a double edged blade in half and use those blades in the supply single blade razor?
I would not recommend that. But you can buy injector blades that are not supply; amzn.to/3uTSbAW
That sounds like a horrible idea
why do you use shave soap over shave cream?
Just personal preference. I do like less and not more. I feel soap would have less stuff in it. No proof. Also stirling soap company has amazing sents.
Do you have a comparison of the Leaf Razor (3 blade) to the supply?
I don't, and I can't see it happening. I'm a single blade guy; I really think its better for your skin. Only because a barber recommended such.
Have you considered an adjustable DE razors that aren't like the rockwell 6c/6s? I.e. pearl flexi, rex ambassador/konsul, yaqi final cut in chrome/brass, vikings blade emperor/crusader, merkur progress/futur?
I haven’t. Kinda thought most double edges were very similar but I may have to rethink it. I did do a comparison vid between supply Pro and the Rockwell T2.
@Fashionable Father I've got the 6c, I've had my eye on the t2, I wish I could afford the stainless steel version. I have to watch that video! I've heard only good things about both. If it's anything like the 6c I must have it lol
@Fashionable Father and the supply pro, that would just open me up to a whole other way to blow my money lol. I've managed to stick with D.E. and not veer into injector, or straight razors. Even with that restriction I've spent more than I'd care to admit 😅
It’s a rabbit hole, am I right?! I had no idea I’d find myself in a razor rabbit hole but here we are. Yeah the injector world is different and awesome in its own way. Many vintage razors to choose from.
@@FashionableFather Been there. Back to my beloved Mach 3 turbo. Quick, easy, no cuts . I use a shave gel with aloe.
“Oh my gosh I cut myself”
*Continues to drag ALLLLL the way down his face HOPING not to get cut*
Gotta pace man. The longer you do one stroke the more likely you’re going to cut yourself.
By the way. I love your videos. Keep making them!
Get the leaf dude. Twig or Thorn.
Loads of blokes have vids on em.
Yes! ruclips.net/video/Xbj3GQkFm2E/видео.html
@@FashionableFather oh dam. I was looking way back through your channel to see if you had used it ha.
Didnt think to look forward, cheers.
@@KrisVic91 Yeah I hesitated on getting it, but when I finally did as you can see I was impressed. Thanks for watching!
How close of a baby smooth shave does it give?
Smooooooooth!
“I’m super gentle on my skin”
*proceeds to immediately swipe with too much pressure, changing the blade angle during the swipe*
You’ve gotta use proper technique, man! This razor makes it super easy too, just keep the head flat and straight against your skin.
Thanks for the video. If I may: try shorter strokes. You'll cut yourself less using that technique. Your strokes are rather long.
I’ve watched other shave videos and never connected that, hmmmm. Thanks for the advice! And thanks for watching.
I have noticed that when using shorter strokes
Hiii
Hey did you preorder the razor because I preorder the se starter kit and was supposed to ship July 1st and yet to receive anything
Whoa?! July 1st?! Supply is not a big company pretty much a husband-wife team, but that is a looong wait. I reached out to him months ago to get the razors to review. Have you tried emailing them?
Yes I emailed them several times and have yet to get anything back last time I got an update was the 14th and after that nothing
@@alejandroluna9982 email me info@afashionablefather.com
@@alejandroluna9982 I reached out and they said they shipped it last night. Sorry about the delay, but I do think you'll be happy.
Thank you so much I really do appreciate I’m really excited to try it out !!
Bro.. did I make a mistake buying this just now? :/ I usually use Gillettes on my face and head.
Have you tried the razor yet? The title is mostly clickbait. But in all honesty if you love Gillette and you don’t get irritation why change right? But I LOVE supply. I wholeheartedly believe in one blade on my skin. I had trouble with irritation on my neck and DE safety razors helped big time.
I have been shaving with DE razors for several years. I purchased the Supply as an impulse buy. I didn't find it very appealing. I don't like the proprietary blades nor the slick handle. Also, a bummer for me was that it manufactured in China.
That’s a shame. DE razors are definitely more flexible in the shaving process. The blades are not proprietary; amzn.to/3VlQDe4
We need more subs, come one ppl! 👋👋👋👋
You're support is truly appreciated; thank you!!
@@FashionableFather Godspeed man! ✊
What’s the difference between a double edge (blade on each side)saftey razor and this singe edge pro?
The supply pro for me has been the closest shave I’ve gotten. But with most double edge raxors seem to have more flexibility as far as angles. Make sense?
@@FashionableFather thank you for the response time . Do you think this razor can cause ingrown hairs or is it designed not to in your opinion? I’m prone to ingrown if the hair is cut beneath the skin. And can you put a feather blade in. It or do you have to use the ones they supply
amzn.to/3sDngrt
@@Logan-ix8vh Also if too close is causing in growns. I just tried this razor and it’s super comfortable but not crazy close. ruclips.net/video/Xbj3GQkFm2E/видео.html
@@FashionableFather awesome brother Ty for this link and you just got my scribe👍
Нормальный мужик
Dude, Take Your time, fluff up the lather, slow short strokes.
less talking, more shaving
So you don't like the irritation, but you're good with slicing your face open...really lost me there.
Lose yourself to the beat.
The hair just disappeared
💞 ᵖʳᵒᵐᵒˢᵐ
Only reason not to buy it is if you're a sissy that can't shave. Best razor out there.
Damn those sissies running rampant.
This razor is awful buy a henson & this guy knows nothing about wet shaving lol
They're bad
