@MaineYooper Well done! I imagine I'll probably have one before the month of boars begin. The other one that was so common in this thread is the SOC boar, which I also don't have.
My two new little piggies are having a bath in some Stirling Executive Man and warm water and the red/orange one will be used today.
Initial impression is that both brushes are very high quality for the $$$. Both handles are well made and have some heft to them. Both knots have a noticeable glue knot (5mm or so) which doesn’t bug me with boar knots as they tend to have longer lofts than I like.
I am interested to see how the Zeniths perform vs. my Semogue SOCs.

it was what I was shaving with later, so just used it as it was handy.Stirling executive man? As a brush cleaner? Is that because its a good cleaner or because you need to use it up etc? Interesting, always good to get little tips.
Hope this can help@MaineYooper Well done! I imagine I'll probably have one before the month of boars begin. The other one that was so common in this thread is the SOC boar, which I also don't have.

The SOC was my first boar in over 5 years, and the only one until DecemBoar took hold of my wallet! A wonderful gift from @bjm (thanks again, my friend, I have loved every shave and enjoy it more every time I use it!)
The Taj is quite a bit heavier. I can weigh them both if that would help. My Taj is a boar and the wood is a Mistura though…@linty1 @MaineYooper The SOC in cherry looks nice. I might go with the Taj resin. I think it might be a tad heavier than the wood (?). Only 10 months to go. I still have a few boars not fully broken in.
I have the same for both that you listed! The mixed is so wonderful that I am thinking of ordering another!I have the Mistura in butterscotch resin. I like the heft of it. I purchased an APShave mixed badger/boar knot back in November that arrived in the mail this week. I've got it soaking for a palm lather in the morning.
