DecemBoar 2024 is here!

That Galahad is a favorite of mine Mark, Nice

I dug out my Zenith brush.  It was ok, I’d put it behind Semogue and omega but it’s possible that I’m being unfair to it as it’s not as well broken in as my Semogue and Omega boars. Vicious circle- I don’t like it so I don’t use it and because I don’t use it , it doesn’t get properly broken in so I don’t like it and don’t use it… you get the picture 

Marko - same for me - gave the same brush. I did the old hand lather store for a day with soap on it, rinse and repeat for 7 days. Got her pleasant enough. Need to do it again. Great substantial knot. Shampooed with her some on my balls head in the shower. Split ends are getting there. Put that baby in the shower and give her some exercise.

That's a Beautifully Elegant brush

Wow, is that red oak? Show stopper. Never thought to drop a boar in a handle of that style. Fantastic looking.

Thanks a lot! Yes, I do believe it is red oak. Good eye!

Last 3 that I’ve used, Zenith, Semogue and Omega. The most relevant makers on the boar game I imagine. 

A wonderful shave today!

One change, I opted for a Kai Captain Titan Mild ProTouch MG blade on its 5th use.
