Reef Point Submariner today. 20 seconds to load the Turtleship Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Gillette Silver Blue in the Gillette “Black Beauty”. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Reef Point Submariner aftershave.

The unexpected SHAVE OF THE DAY 12/18/2018
I really wasn't planning on shaving today. It started out with me just trying to see if i could bowl lather some Cremo Cooling Shave Cream i had laying around. So I added some vegetable glycerin next thing i knew i had a decent lather. My curiosity didn't stop there so i figured let me wet my face and try it on just to see how it feels.

Long story short 10 minutes later i am prepping my skin up for a shave! I must say i was very pleasantly surprised by the preformance of this mix. Not just the slickness because Cremo is great for that, but the cushion and quality of the lather was beautiful! Cremo is back in the rotation! Sorry for the long post gents, but i am a newbie still figuring it out.

Pears Transparent Soap (preshave)
Palmolive Classic Shave Stick
Miusco Badger Brush
Late 40's Gillette Superspeed
Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Platinum (4)
Thayer's Original Witch Hazel
Proraso Red Aftershave

For my skin/beard, I think this blade reaches it's final usable output at 4 shaves. I finished with needing too many touchups for my liking. Completed the shave with a BBS, but resulted in red irritation on the lower neck. I guess it matches the natural tone of the back of my neck now... [emoji28]

Great shave setup, and I love the soap container. I need to try that one (even if it is just because of the cool artwork)!

Pre-Shave: Proraso Green
Lather: Arko Stick / Few drops of Glycerin
Brush: Omega 49 Boar
Shavette: Sanguine R5 / Shark SS (1)
DE: Gillette Aristocrat #21 (1948) / Astra SP (3)
Balm: Nivea Sensitive
AS: Brut Original

The modest Arko stick still lathers up a treat, especially with a little added Glycerin and whipped up with the Omega 49 'Big Pig'. A great lather to protect my face from my miss-handling of the Shavette. Final pass and tidy up with the class act Aristocrat. Ooooh Yeah!

Chasing soap because of cool artwork . . . been there, done that.
Sometimes it even works out OK.
