Reef Point Submariner today. 20 seconds to load the HFD/TGN Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Personna 74 Tungsten in the Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Reef Point Submariner aftershave.

Full beard and head shave with the Ikon Tech. Finishing a head shave without serious injury with this "safety razor" (a joke among Ikon designers) is akin to surviving a hanging. Or listening to all four sides of Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music. One certainly feels a mix of accomplishment, good fortune, and "what the f*$# just happened". The particular difficulty with the head shave is in maintaining the proper steep angle the Tech requires. Doing that was easier on the beard, two pass BBS, no weepers.
