Agreed! I haven’t seen another Zenith handle like this on B&B. Definitely different. Reminds me of a Simpson handle. strawberry swirl, I think.Wow! Looks great. I love that handle.

With all due respect, Arko is a year-long event with maybe one or two brief interruptionsWhat’s the other one so we can all crash it? Please don’t say Arko Sharko!
Good man. I still have an unused Zenith boar that I will be using today. It’s still DecemBOAR somewhere!DecemBoar Plus One
Ringing out the old with some new!
Old: Karve Christopher Bradley, Wilkinson Sword (3), MWS Sensitive Skin
New: Fluffy Industries 86S (the short) handle and an AP Luxury bulb, 70/30 badger/boar
That bulb is 24mm, but it lathered up yuge, I tell ya!

Happy New Year! I will miss the fun here but look forward to next DecemBoar. And I will keep an eye out for other interesting celebrations.
I also used badgers a couple of times in December as one was a loaner and one was a Christmas gift. No big deal.I really enjoyed this month long event. I sort of fizzled out Christmas day, as I was lucky enough to get 2 Simpsons brushes under the tree. They are my first Simpsons so I was quite enamoured with them and could not stop using them.
I will be using my SOC Cherry Boar at least once a week going forward now though! Man that is an awesome brush!
Same here, regarding the SOC cherry! Arguably the best boar I have, and it was the first, new from @bjm! It will see lots more use.I really enjoyed this month long event.

My other favorite is the Cheapskate Challenge even though I found it too late in my brief but expensive DE/SE shaving career. It reminded me that close and comfortable shaves can be achieved on a budget if a person chooses to do so. There has only been one so far, but I hope it becomes a recurring event.What’s the other one so we can all crash it? Please don’t say Arko Sharko!
Even after Decemboar ends, you people keep showing me more brushes that I just may have to buy!I had to post my first shave with the new Zenith Olive handled boar. SUPER stiff, but should break in nicely. The handle is likely the most ergonomic handle I have used. Like a vintage barber handle but much smaller.
See all of you around!

The only place I've seen the "coral" handle is on yourshaving. They have a grey handle I haven't seen anywhere else either.Agreed! I haven’t seen another Zenith handle like this on B&B. Definitely different. Reminds me of a Simpson handle. strawberry swirl, I think.
