It was in the to-sell bin. The experience of buying it had left a bad taste in my mouth, and after three or four uses, I wasn't wowed. Hadn't touched it in months. Today I came at it fresh. The lather was superb, and while there is a hint of scritch if I really press the knot hard into my face, I thoroughly enjoyed its scrubby feel and sheer density. A Duke 3 in Best was the first brush I ever really loved back in 2008 when I started wetshaving. I'm going to give this one a fair chance. Today's shave was such that I can't see why I'd have thought of selling it.
🐗 Decemboar. Yup. It’s a thing! 🐗

Meh. I would have fell off the wagon too if the Simpsons M7 I ordered on Dec 1st from WCS would actually arrive... and I started this thread!

Going strong with the SOC Taj boar this week 
face-lathered with the Omega 10066 from a puck of PdP 63
Shave #24, Christmas Eve. Different methods of loading boar with different kinds of soap are still very much experimental for me. Today I put a dollop of croap DG Massacre into the doughnut hole of a damp Omega Pro 49 and proceeded to face scrub and dip constantly for water. Worked well but took a lot of scrubbing.
Great shave today with RR Hawk v3a loaded with a Schick Proline. I have been breaking in this Omega all month and she is breaking in nicely!

It is Christmas and I decided to use the Proraso boar.
Omega 11137 + a mug of Haslinger
Shave #25 and Christmas Day. Used the Zenith B03-A26 boar with aluminum handle. Very dense brush. I went to put some croap in the doughnut hole of the damp brush knot to face lather. There is no such hole in Zenith brushes. Very dense knot. Not my favorite way of loading lather, but it works and is less sloppy as it allows adding of water gradually by dipping. Merry Christmas!

Nice Christmas shave with my Semogue 1800 and Rocky Mountain Barber Company Spearmint soap (gift from my son). 
Semogue 1250 with a mug o' Tabac
Day #14 with the Zenith B03-A26 (aka B2)
Shave #26, and still in for a month of boars. And good Boxing Day to my fellow Canadians. I still am at a loss for how to best use croap and creams with a boar and so went to a hard puck of Puros RR today because it's so easy. This Zenith unbleached is like nothing else I own. The softest brush I have. Synthetics are super soft but don't splay as nice as this. Still kicking myself for not getting it in the olive wood handle. This brush definitely has a reknotting in its future.
