Boar Brush Help

[richmondesi]

Doesn't look too bad, Paul. So how did you think it went? Is boar a bore, or are bristles the best?

I think it's a work in progress, but it is definitely getting there. I'm thinking that the boar is worth the money in a strictly utilitarian sense (at the very least). It would be ideal for someone strictly into this for the cost savings. I need more time to determine if it would ever take the place of my badger brushes... I'm not in any hurry to make a final determination just yet.

Exactly! I've only recently went back to boar, Paul, and you need to make sure only to let the the excess water drip from the brush. No shaking. No little squeezes. Just let her drip and start lathering as normal. You may need to add some water as you go along, but depending on what you're using, you may be fine. I've only used my Omega #10077 for about, oh, two weeks now, and it seems that for soaps the brush holds close to the amount of water you need more so than creams, but it holds its own against my two badger brushes just fine.

EDIT: Nice video you found there, Ignatius. He's a bit overkill on that puck though isn't he?

I used Matt's method listed above, let drip, no shaking, no squeezing and then to the soap. WOW what a difference!! I would have sworn that was too much water, but what an improvement.

use tabac soap or MWF or JF or Nomad; they all seem to love the 'pig'.

Dig on pig sounds better.

Dig on pig sounds better.

Maybe, but it wouldn't be a reference to Pulp Fiction then though, would it?

Very true...I was very surprised with the Fat...that thing exploded with lather with my Omega brush

Well now it sounds like you're just trying to be difficult...
