Well more of last weeks xAD craziness has rolled in .Getting ready for tomorrows shave.
After reading the "Boreal--Where's the Love" thread I had to contact Gary at ShoeBox ShaveShop to hook me up with one. I tossed in the oddly smelling ARKO shave stick after reading about it too. I can see how this is a love/hate smell. I am not certain where I am on that right just now.
Now for the Boreal 976 Banded Boar. Gary called it a highly underrated brush and I can agree instantly after just dumping it out of the box. I have been using a thinning EverReady boar for a long long time ..this brush is way denser and should go after my Pre de Provence like a street sweeper after a New Years celebration.
I lightly polished up the NEW that arrived earlier this week and am set for tomorrows shave.
