Single Edge by Supply Provision - are you getting one?

This will take a day or two to get really used to it, but it shaves extremely well. That's using the blades which came with it, which I presume are Personna.
At 108 gms, it's pretty heavy for such a small razor, especially if Schicks and Pals are your thing. Much as I love my Mongoose and Alumigoose, the narrower head on this makes it a bit more manoeuvrable round the old "boat race". It's definitely doing what it's supposed to do, and I haven't run into any problems with it being a V1 and thus not debugged as the V2 will be.
I'll use it up to the weekend, and should then be in a better position to comment more fully.
 
So yes, the shave. A very nice shave but not like a traditional injector razor. I used the #2 plate and while mild it was very effective. The blade I chose was a Schick plus platinum just because I had an open pack and I like this blade. Quiet and smooth, sort of like my Feather AS D2. Finding the angle is straight forward, not much to do there. Just tilt it down until you feel it cutting. Again not much audible feedback. Did a nice job under my nose and shaving ATG on my neck was good. End result after 2 passes it was pretty much as good as it gets. Tomorrows shave will be with the #3 plate (aggressive?) and I will find out how that works. I did tinker with it some and filed down the blade stops just because I thought they were too big. I like this razor! Here's a couple of pictures so maybe you can see what I did with my mods.

This morning I used the #3 plate with the modified stops and wow, what a different shave from yesterday. I could definitely feel the blade, there was more feedback and I wound up with a very close comfortable shave. It feels more aggressive but not overly so, easier to get a close shave without having to work at it. Now I'll file down the stops on the #2 plate and try it again.

a shame you didn't use the #3 plate before modifying it. I'm glad it worked for you, it's just the scientist in me - we're indoctrinated to change only one parameter at a time :)

Glad to hear you're happy with it, and awaiting your experience with modifying the second one.
