I acquired my first boar brush from west coast shaving last week. It is an omega boar brush that I used for the first time today.
I wanted to see how it would perform against my trusty silver Badger. Boars are supposed to feel more agressive on your face compared to the silver Badger. I did not have any issues with taking the boar to my face with it's bit more aggressiveness.
My experience with it is that the shaving cream I used (tobs ceadareood - first time use) it did not lather up well on my first use. The lather lasted no more than 1-1/2 shaves. On the second lather, it was no better.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to gather a better lather with a boar as I would with a silver Badger?
Thanks.
