🐽 🐷 🐖 🐗 DecemBOAR 2023!!! Only Boar Brushes for all of December! 🐽 🐷 🐖 🐗

[Steel2It]

I've been remiss in that I haven't reported my Hog-enabled shaves this month. So, I'll summarize. I shaved only ten times in the 31 days, all with one of these two sets:

The two Omega brushes, 10049 and Shave Club Omega, lathered the Shannon's soap easily, and I had consistently good results despite a few hurried efforts. I used Red Personna blades for all but the last two efforts, a Gillette Super Platinum and a Nacet handling those very capably. Razors are a Yates 921-M and an ATT Windsor Regular/Medium. I also have a hybrid OC/SB plate for the Yates, and that plate saw duty whenever I had 3 days' growth (OC on first pass, SB for 2nd and beyond). It's great in that way.

Happy New Year to all on B&B!

Almost midnight on the best coast. It's a work day today and tomorrow for the LOTH, so we had a quiet evening and I took time for a slow, contemplative shave.

Vintage barber style dubl duck boar

The shave was contemplative, vintage, and complicated by shave testing two newly honed SRs.

First outing for my Gillette New Improved Tuckaway in an opulent gold finish.

Vintage 'tallow bomb' Colgate soap is quite opulent, too.

Thank you all and Happy New Year!!

Gentlemen,
I would like to thank @SharpieB for organising the event. Keep up the good work, sir!

How long ago was this? I bought a bunch of synths a year or two ago and he didn't have actual boar knots but mostly synths. I just checked now and same thing. He sells Faux boar.

@Shave Souffle my records would suggest I placed the order for the knot in around January/February 2023.

That was a great month! Thank you to @SharpieB and everyone else who participated and made this the best DecemBOAR to date. I personally picked up my first 2 Mistura’s (Butterscotch @ a RV). I also picked up my first Zenith (Chubby Scrubby).
I’m wrapping up DecemBOAR this morning Jan 1st with the shave I was supposed to have last night, but alcohol had other plans .

Finally, boars aren’t just for DecemBOAR, don’t forget to keep posting in the Brotherhood of the Boar! Have a great year everyone

I recognioze all the Omega's in the front row. Care to take a pic of the others in the back? Is the third from the left the Omega 10099? Where did you find one in red?

Pics of the back row: all are Omega Pro Boars.
I think the numbers are as follows: 20108, 10083, 20102 (perfection), 10049 aka “Big Red”, and a 10108(?)

LOL. Funny how excited we get over a $30 brush! LOL. Like kids at Christmas.

Of course, a Zenith boar is a great value even at $100 IMO as they are killer brushe

You need 20248 and 10048. Yes I am trying to enable you.

 

[Steel2It]

Thanks, all, but I'm passing my winnings on to someone in greater need. I have more brushes than I can justify as is.

Hogs forever!

Thank you for allowing someone else the chance. I ran the number generator again and #54 @Steel2It won again (seriously! LOL). I ran it a final time and the lucky winner is…

#50 @Guido75 !!!

Congrats! Please look for my PM so I can get your brush ordered!

 

[Leverspro]

Hope that doesn't knock @Guido75 out of the restraint!
I think he might have hinted that he wanted to win.

Sounds like a plan!
