Reef Point Submariner today. 20 seconds to load the Turtleship Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Personna Med Prep still in the Gillette NEW LC. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Reef Point Submariner aftershave.

Scent Showdown
I decided to put both of my Spicebomb type scented sets to the test. I used Ginger's Garden Spicegrenade on the left, and Oleo Wayoh on the right. Both the Lutin and the JR159 have the same Maggard's synthetic knot, though the Lutin is set lower so it has more backbone.
Lather - GG is a vegan soap with argan oil, and Oleo has duck fat and jojoba oil. Both have mango butter. The Oleo lather was more dense, both were very slick.  Advantage: Oleo, I like the density of the lather, though both performed similarly - I used an alum block to check for irritation, and both sides had a little only on the neck.
Post shave feel: GG left my skin softer, likely due to the argan oil. Oleo rinsed very cleanly and felt very good as well. Advantage: GG
Scent: Both are true to Spicebomb and about equal in strength. 
Aftershave: GG goes on a little tacky and takes longer to absorb. Oleo has more alcohol and stung more when applied, but dried down quickly and left a smooth feeling. GG has more menthol as well.
Overall: these two are close, but if I had to pick just one, is give the nod to Oleo. I prefer tallow soaps in general, although argan oil is an excellent ingredient.
