I am tempted to score the Executive Man splash. How would you rate it.

scent wise i would rate it up there with the best, i also got the chance to smell sandpiper as my mate got it and this was also amazing.. I loved both the scents very much but without doubt the sandpiper was a stronger scent of the two.

They are both incredible smelling so you cant go wrong with either, it will really come down to what scent strength you want, if strong get sandpiper if you it a little lighter go for the executive man

I will end up with sandpiper at some stage

how are you finding the WR2?

Thanks for the info on the scents.
Must admit first shave with WR2 felt a little nervous as I had high hopes for this razor. Happy to say its a gem.
My top three razor, not in any order. The RAW RS-10 mild plate, Wolfman WR2 0.95 and Timeless 0.68. :)

thats a bloody brilliant line up.. never used the RAW but i have read its a gem.. how do you compare the standard gap 0.95 on WR2 compared with the 0.68 Timeless, and if you have used the 0.95 Timeless how does it compare to that

The WR2 is closer to the Timeless 0.68. The 0.95 Timeless plate is not an everyday shaver for me but excellent for mowing down multiple days growth. Nice to have choices.

Pre-Shave: Kiss my Face Olive Oil Soap, cold water
Razor: Wolfman WR1 SB-P WRH2 SS
Blade: Voskhod (1)
Brush: Rhodium Knots 2-band Silvertip
Lather: Mike's Lemongrass & Eucalyptus
Post-Shave: Alum, Thayers Original Alcohol Free Witch Hazel, South Australian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

One of those shaves were everything came together for a exceptionally close and smooth shave that just brought a smile to my face.

The Rhodium knot brush is simply divine - a super densely packed wall of badger with silky soft tips - that whipped up some wonderful Mike's lather - happy days!

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

Yeah thanks For the info, i thought that would be the case with the standard.. I can use the .95 timeless as a daily it’s just so smooth and efficient. @tim33z has the 1.05 I think it if he reckons that’s a karve d plate I will go the 1.15 I think, wr2 head SB for the smoothness
