My first time using this razor. A little more aggressive and blade feel than my other ASR razors but still a nice shave - even with some razor burn from a bad shave yesterday.

First shave with the Supply V2.0 Stainless and am still dialing things in. Used the 2-dot plate and ended up having to do extra touch-up which, I believe, led to some minor irritation. Already have the 3-dot plate installed to see if that helps with the next shave.

Other than the minor irritation noted above, the Supply V2.0 Stainless (2-dot plate) delivered good results.

All-in-all, a very nice shave! :)
