Razor: Wade & Butcher

Lather: Historic & Oak Embargo
Brush: Vie-Long (horse)
Bowl: Bluff Cove Pottery

Aftershave: Historic & Oak Embargo
Post 2: Historic & Oak balm

I took my time with this shave. I wanted to do further testing with this soap and the post-shave products. I also wanted to take my time and do more passes with this Wade & Butcher straight razor as I continue advancing as a straight razor user.

The soap is on the firmer side. It's not hard but it's not soft like many artisan croaps these days. Just sharing this in case you were wondering.

Once you hit it with water and a brush it immediately starts turning into a lather. With a little work, it turns into a very dense lather. I have to say I really enjoy the lather that this soap produces. It's slick and quite nice.

I was craving the smokey, boozy alluring fragrance that is Embargo. With its strong, rugged accord you're sure to attract attention. It's unmistakably masculine.

All in all, I had a really nice shave with this combination of wares and have no qualms recommending this and other products from H&O.

Speaking of other products, the aftershave and balm are both great. I really mean it. You can immediately notice the quality. I know it's love to try some of their other scent offerings as well.

Alright, my friends. Thanks for reading. Enjoy your shaves.

When I do get to my shave today, it will likely be the Supply Injector.

How does it compare to a standard Schick? I have a G-Bar version for comparison which I find doesn't shave super close. Definitely presentable for public engagements but, a bit of 5 O'clock shadow early in the evening too. My whiskers are pretty coarse so, that is part of the problem with a milder razor.

I have been looking at the Razorock Hawk and Supply Company Injector both. AC or Injector blades ... Hmmm ...

I like the Supply SE with the open comb. I have ad every other they made including the adjustable and multiple plates on the other. In my experience, the mulitple plate version were too mild or two quick to bite, no real sweet spot for me. Adjustables where you are just changing the blade exposure usually have a sweet spot where the exposure is right for the razors geometry and then after that you get more agression, but not any real difference in shave. That was the Supply with the wheel for me. (Most other adjustables I've tried in DE too. I fell that blade gap and exposure should ideally change a bit rather than simply one or the other, and maybe not in the same direction for an optimal shave - neither here nor there for the Supply, but just thoughts in general on adjustables).

I think you would find the SE too mild. Look for an Type E. Those shave very close.
