Used a 7 ‘ o’clock stainless blade Palmolive traditional shaving cream. Very smooth and a little more effective than the aluminum version which I have. Feels only slightly different because of the different metals and weight, when comparing both versions, definitely the apex ss standard is now a razor in my rotation! Love this razor!

This is a serious razor that has both heft and amazing clamping of my beloved Feather blades. It's one of those forever investments that really works well for me.
