Reef Point Submariner today. 20 seconds to load the Turtleship Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Schick Plus Platinum still in the Gillette Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Reef Point Submariner aftershave.

Saturday shave
Prep-hot water and soap to clean the beard.
Brush-Balea Men synthetic microfiber
Cream-Balea Men
QShave Merkur Futur clone loaded with Supermax Blue Diamond Platinum
Aftershave-Adidas Champions League Arena Edition/L'OREAL Men expert aftershave balm
Music supplied by Juno Reactor-various tracks.
The Blue Diamond Platinum blade is NOT suited for beginners. At setting #3 you feel the blade edge, how coarse and sharp it is. Gave me a few cuts and weepers but ended up with a real nice shave in the end. The Balea cream has a strong scent that isn't for everybody but I like it.Goes well with the Adidas and also fits well with Floid Black, I think. Thick lather. The Balea brush has become my favorite. The badger and boar that I have do not compare to this synthetic, it doesn't cost an arm and a leg, doesn't need soaking and it's much softer than the others I have.
Love the smell of the Adidas ASL but hate the smell of the L'OREAL balm. However I do have to admit it did a very good job.
