If there's still room at the trough, I'm in. Provided I've got the chops. And a have a nice Omega Prorasso to bring a-loin.

Wow, what a way to ham it up

Wow! Youse guys are boar-derline crazy! Still 2 weeks until Dec!

 

[RookieGuy]

D'oh! Thanks @SharpieB.

 

[Bugin]

Not sure on batting order yet but here are my MVPs. All brushes are well broken in and I wouldn't hesitate to bring out for Decemboar.

I'm not suggesting I want to but I could be very happy with this line up till my last shave.

@SharpieB.
I still don't see my name on that list. Am I supposed to list myself? I sure want to let the pigs out in December!

I see a man in desperate need of more boars!

Sorry, couldn't resist....

You don't know bad I am stopping myself from picking up a Semogue before December lol

 

[MaineYooper]

I will have to get a photo soon, but right now most of the boars are having a soak! Literally in the trough, they are, the little piggies! While not refrigerated, I am trying the 12-24 hour soak, with intermittent lathering. Boar brushes are newish to me, having not used or owned one since 2017 or so. What I can say is that there are 8 boar brushes being prepared for DecemBoar! Two bought new, three bought as knots and set in handles, 2 gifted to me, and 1 from the BST. If I count mixed badger/boar, then 9. I picked it up from the BST on a whim, and haven't been disappointed!

 

[MaineYooper]

After some weeks of looking, reading and buying (lots of buying! Trying to do my part to keep the economy going ), here is the final line up:

The two on the far right were bought new. The three to their immediate left were bought as new knots for handles already owned. On the far left, two gifted to me, and to their right, two bought on the BST. Let's go! Can we start early?!!

Yes, that is badger hair on the one brush, a 50:50 mix, what Semogue calls Mistura. Boar bristle brushes are surprisingly inexpensive, so I used that to enable myself to try a lot of different boar knots. There are a couple TGN knots, a Turn N Shave untreated, Shave Forge, Zenith, and of course, Semogue. No Omegas, but I had a Pro '49 years ago, and made the call not to get any unless one pops up on the BST that is highly thought of. I think I have too many already!

Nice line up you have there!

Also, to my eye, that SOC and Zenith to the left look quite similar. I'd be interested to hear how they compare.

 

[Shave Souffle]

I’m all a-BOARd!!! Have a couple Omegas and a Semogue to use. I’ve been hoarding brushes lately so I may as well become a BOARDer. Add me to the list please.

I picked up an already broken in Omega 49 off reddit bazaar. I'm readay

 

[Paulford]

I’m in.

Just about every shave is a Pro49 kind of shave. Occasionally a 40033 mighty midget gets a little love.

I’ll use the month to break in a new Pro and mighty midget.
