Supply + Schick

The Supply gives an interesting shave. For me it offers little to no blade feel, yes somehow manages to mow the hairs down. I think that on an efficiency level it is only about a 7/10. But I like how it shaves, and I guess that's all that matters.​

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Tony Forsyth P&C LE 2017 Platypus High Mountain White Badger;
Soap: Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barber
Razor: Merkur Mergress (2.5)
Blade: NOS Gillette Super Silver (1)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel; Bootlegger's El Dorado Aftershave Splash

The NOS Gillette Super Silver blade is right up there with the sharpest blades I have used. Using a light touch in the Mergress, it provided a superb shave. Three passes and I was BBS.
You know the shave is extremely close when regrowth is minimal to the touch after 24 hours, as was the case with this shave. Finished with a generous splash of Bootlegger's El Dorado - simply wonderful!
 
Cruel? No, I prefer to think of it as kind.

The quicker I use this soap the quicker I can sell the EDT to @tim33z - it does smell great though doesn't it!

This is my first go with a BIC Chrome Platinum blade. Impressions are that they seem a good blade. Glad to have slipped these into a vshod order some time ago.
