Beautiful lather qualities from this soap. Creamy, slick, and a nice scent too...
A good shave with this razor paired with the blade. Continuing with ice water razor dip in between passes. Hmmm...can sorta feel the blade is not as crisp but still ok for 3passes without any issues for a mix bbs/dfs result. Good aftershaves too.

Good morning all! Hope you had a pleasant weekend.

Fantastic shave to end the month with. Fantastic lather and who can't love that wonderful Tabac aroma?!?! Finished with the matching splash and cologne. Ahhhhh! I smell wonderful! :cool:

Hope you have a great day. :)

SOTD_2022-02-27_Supply-2.0.jpg

I did things backwards, getting the new Supply Single Edge Pro and then buying their previous 2.0 model. I have been wanting to try one anyway and since they are making them anymore I thought I'd get one while I could. I'm also planning on getting the new SE plate when it's released as a standalone part. The weight and feel of this one is similar to the Pro but the shave is a little different. I had less blade feel, even with the number two plate. That's not necessarily a bad thing and I did get a very close suave. Someone suggested that I try the number three plate to see if I like it better so I plan on doing that soon.

I recently got HC&C's unscented soap along with a bunch of the fragrance oils, one of which was Havana Breeze. I decided to try kicking things up a notch by adding a few drops to the normal Havana Breeze soap and I wasn't disappointed. I really like being able to control the scent strength. It's a great system.

I ended up with a very smooth BBS result. Even over twelve hours later my face is completely smooth. No wonder I love SE razors so much. Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!

The soap qualities are really good. Nicer scent and the lather is very creamy and slick...
Just a wonderful shave from this unassuming razor paired with the blade. This reminded me how a simple setup can be so enjoyable and effective. Used a shim and heavier handle to increase the efficiency and wow...truly enjoyed it. A very smooth, crisp, and efficient 3++passes for a bbs finish. Satisfying aftershaves.
