I was using a small C&S No 88 travel puck today so went went a small Yaqi No.22 to avoid wasting it.

Fumbling about.
I'm thinking of removing the Zenith writing. It's lost "it."
Happy shaves,

Decemboar 9, today with a Zenith P2 boar brush, BBS, 10/10:
Razor: RR Superslant L2, new 5th use- figured out the optimum angle for me, which is quite steep
Blade: Nacet (3)
Lather: Noble Otter Barrbarr
Brush: Zenith P2 boar
Post: cold rinse, then some matching NO Barrbarr AS
Have a wonderful weekend!

Ask me about shaving naked!
Decemboar 8th: Thäter boar, one of the greats at least until the knot falls apart. This one has been perfect so far and is a stellar brush, especilly since I bought it used and broken in for $35. Soap was MeC vetyver and Santa Maria Novella herbal water finished up. The razor was a Le Jaguar Pour Barbe Dure (for heavy beard).
Decemboar 9th: RazoRock olive handled boar (likely a Zenith), the razor was a R. Marchand, Paris, ‘Supreme Tranchant’ frameback for Frameback Friday. Software was Acqua di Parma.

Man, what a crazy game it was! Honestly, I was a bit upset for how that game went at the end...Brazil deserved the semis, but as you know, the best team sometimes doesn't win.
Thanks for you kind words!
Vamos lá caralho!
It’s true, man. You are completely right. You know, I am 64 and live in São Paulo, therefore I was blessed to have seen Pelé playing…Man, what a crazy game it was!

I really wish that Portugal wins this Cup.

DecemBOAR Shave 5
Back to the top of the rotation! My 5th DecemBOAR shave was with the 2014 B&B Essential Boar.
All four of my boar brushes are really new, so I realize any comparisons now are wildly premature. With all of them having 10 cycles or less, this Omega LE and the Semogue SOC are working the best right now. That being said, I'm pretty into the Omega Jade and the Zenith B33. I like the size of the handles and knots on those, and their general vibe.
I am really looking forward to them evolving from the thirsty brooms they are right now. Four new brushes might have been a bit much for one month, but I've been thinking. I know 2023 is the year of the Rabbit, but it might turn into the Year of the Boar for me. I could roll into next DecemBOAR with four bushy mushrooms!
Back to today shave, it was very nice shaving again with the B&B. Not only can it deliver plenty of lather for a 2nd pass already, the pre-split ends seem actually somewhat pre-split. I think the SOC is softer right now but these tips are getting there quickly. The handle is significantly smaller than the others, this is a lot of knot for this handle. It feels like a MR2 with a Corvette LT1 engine stuffed into it in comparison to the others. Comfortable to use, it pretty effortless and quick to build up a lather with this brush.
Facelathering with a stick as I am this month, this B&B brush seems designed by NASA engineers to do that job perfectly, it's just a pleasure to use. You members who designed this brush, THANK YOU! You nailed it.
