I just brought out my boarzooka for the first shave of Decemboar. It's a Zenith 508A named Hogzilla (in honor of Joe Bob Briggs). It is the Bermuda Triangle of brushes but instead of ships and airplanes disappearing without a trace, soap disappears to never be seen again. It is the least used brush in my collection because I'd have to sell my house to finance the soap usage which would boarder on insanity. It isn't even close to being broken in.

Joe Bob says "check it out"
Just saw this thread, so I'll play along. Today I used my Omega 10065
No matter what anyone says, in my notsohumble opinion, boar brushes are the best. Also, in the wild, a boar beats a badger every time.
Today was a 610 for me as well, which lathered up my Figaro Gold like a wild man. Now granted, I use boar 98% of every month so...

Dec first boar shave an older Omega Pro 49 knot that I recently put in a different ebonite
handle. Fantastic brush. Lost two or three hairs today, but nothing major.
Very nice brush! Did you reduce the loft?
Sure. Vintage and modern - I'm in.
Fact 1: I have never used a boar brush in my life.
Fact 2: Hogzilla may be the most glorious thing I've ever seen. I have never wanted a boar brush more in my life.
Great idea, I am in. I have quite a few boar brushes that need more use to break in. I unofficially started yesterday when I used my Omega Jade. And thanks for all the puns!
I've never used a boar brush, only synthetics and badgers. Do boar brushes consume a lot of soap?
Ignore my post about soap usage with Hogzilla. That particular brush is a mutant. I think my every day boar brushes use approximately the same amount as my similar sized synthetics or badger brushes. Maybe slightly more but nothing crazy.
Agreed. They use a lot more during the break-in process, but well-used boar brushes use only a smidge more soap than an analogous badger brush.
Something I'll have to keep in mind, I like the idea of using more soap. If it's enough it might widdle my supply down to one lifetimes worth!
Just to be clear, I mean whittle! Oops.
