Im too shock/in awe to even type my first impressions in a coherent way, so I will default to just show you the pics (new and after 1 test lather).
.
Will post a brief first impressions later this week.

Wow
Helluva bloom! Quite stunning
 
yes! its HUGE (even slighty bigger than my mozingo ZT3, which was already my biggest 28mm brush ever)

You know what... at least from where
I’m sitting it recalls those megablooming Leonhardy 7000-series brushes, which to me is a great thing. And it appears dense enough to sport some decent backbone. Looks like you scored yourself a winner 🏆

Fumbling about.
Upon coming home from vacation two new brushes were waiting for me.

The unbleached Zenith boar I've been using has been great and I'm very excited to get a second unbleached ^ Zenith boar.

This ^ is the unbleached I've had for months.

Happy shaves,

SOC boar in cherry and ash

Ordered from the Portuguese Factory website May 31. Promptly shipped, and they even flew across the Atlantic in June. Then the USPS failed to deliver them and sent them back to Portugal before I could intervene!

Great and caring customer service from the Portuguese Factory proprietors - they reshipped on July 14 even before the first package was returned to them. But by then the pandemic had frozen up the Portuguese postal service.

Arrived Jamaica, NY on September 17.
On my doorstep today, September 19.
