Thanks for your fine review. I have the original Supply and was wondering about the Pro.

It really is a quality product. I had seen many people say the same thing about their 2.0, how it was satisfyingly heavy, and now I see why. I'm used to the vintage injectors which are all pretty lightweight by comparison. I think one of the best parts, and something that adjustables sometimes don't get right, is that there is a wide range between the lower settings and the high. On 1 or 2 it is very gentle and on 5 or 6 you really feel the blade.

I have one of those. Used it a handful of times and never got a good shave out of it. Bummer man.

I hate to give up too easily on any razor but this one is frustrating. I feel like it should be a great razor and it's just not happening for me. I also think it's telling that I almost never see it in SOTDs or videos. I'm sure there are plenty of people who like it but I don't know any.

Thanks. It's Wedgwood china. Just before WWII, there were two Wedgwood brothers in contention to run the company. They flipped a coin, and the loser came to the US and attended Harvard - where he was one of my dad's roommates - and then medical school, eventually becoming an academic pediatric immunologist at the University of Washington. I worked as an assistant in his lab there when I was a pre-med student.

Wonderful shave with this vintage razor paired with the blade at setting 9 for an easy & smooth 3passes resulting in a bbs/dfs finish. Aftershaves were excellent!

The honeysuckle soap has become a top favorite. I don't know which base it has, but it loads on the brush really easily and makes beautiful fragrant lather. The aftershave is a great finish, bringing back wonderful childhood memories.
