Post: APR post-shave serum

It is currently very hard for me, to reach for a different razor, but I think it will be soon time to stop just admiring the new Wolfman and start to properly evaluate it...

The APR serum is just a wonderful treat for my skin - ready for the weekend!

I hope you all have a fantastic Friday (y)​

Fanbloodytastic shave this evening. The mild plate efficiency level and blade feel is spot on for me.

G'day @Holiday - I easily get 20 shaves from a P74. Some users push beyond 30.
PM me if you want the metallurgical basis of their longevity.

Thanks @TomG. I have obtained 10+ shaves from GSB or Polsilver. I'll save my pennies for a bargain Wolfman or Smart Helix Apollo.
For the right price I am sure they are worth it. I know @eggbert breaks one out every year for his b'day

Brush: RR 400
Razor: Timeless Bronze SB // RR Wunderbar Ti
Blade: Perma Sharp (3 // 4)
Pre: Shower
Bowl: Pereira Shavery Lathering Bowl
Soap: APR Coolabah LE
Post: APR Restoration Peptide Concentrate Serum 15ml Tester A

Last two shaves for the week and both equally satisfying, with slight edge going the the Slant for efficiency but not taking away from the Bronze as its an equally smooth/comfortable shaver. Decided on the Coolabah and it didn't disappoint with its soothing post shave feel and summery scent. Finished off with the Serum and after a month of testing its going well (y) Have a great weekend! :)

Ok, been using for a while now and will declare this a seriously good razor!

Pre: Pb PSE
Soap: Pb Gilleán
Brush: 20mm Master Badger
Razor: Timeless Bronze OC
Blade: Vintage French Nacet (1)
AS: Pb Black Spruce
The world looks and smells very different after some rain. :)
The Timeless performed brilliantly as expected and if enabling awards can be awarded retrospectively then @Razor Burn
gets a nomination for lending me his some time back. Smooth and efficient was the order of the day with a BBS result. I was hanging out for a straight razor shave today but the Timeless was calling me and didn't disappoint.:) Black Spruce works well with Gilleán - bonus.

Brush: Semogue - Excelsior 1460 Boar Brush
Soap: Stirling - Glastonbury
Razor: Timeless .68 SB - Scalloped Head

Post-shave: AP Reserve Escentials 'Restoration'

3017 @tim33z the next sample puck and have learnt to appreciate bowl lathering (may even give B&M and Synthetics another go) althogh 2 x pass BBS and rinse the rest down the drain goes against my thrifty Scottish heritage
