830 is a fine boar, I have the 1305 which has the same knot. But for me the SOC is one step above! Hope you get it soon

Yeah me too, but since it's from The Portuguese Factory via Amazon I can apparently cancel it for a refund if it doesn't show up by Saturday, in which case I'll grab it from West Coast Shave or something
Omega 10065 boar
Today, I used the Semogue 1250 on a mug of Tabac.
I use boar 80-90% of the time anyway. Never liked badgers. I have only 2, and I don't use them. Have a couple of synthetics that are great. Hate the fact that many users consider boars to be inferior.
Semogue Owner's Club Taj Butterscoth this morning..mmm.

I like Boars, Badger, Synth and even Horse. Badger is my favorite though.
I just ordered a Simpsons M7 yesterday so it will have to wait for its debut. A likely really hungover Jan 1st shave.
Looks like Ill be joining you lot sooner rather than later, my lovely fiance stumbled upon this thread and purchased the boarzooka!
I think it's meant as a Christmas gift, but she's bad at holding off on giving gifts and even worse at keeping secrets which is why I know about it at all. So, I'll probably be joining sometime next week!

Zenith 506U today. The knot is still breaking in, and I'm not sure I love it, but I'm giving it time to open up a bit. For now, it's not splaying like I'd like. Still, it made a fine lather from Palmolive soap this morning.
Used this Zenith unbleached on my face for the first time today. It's been wet maybe a dozen times. It's a monster. Feels softer than even my Shavemac badgers. Lathered without shaking any water out of after soaking and loaded for two minutes. It absorbs a huge amount of water.
Enough lather for 10 passes. This is the brush for those pucks you'd like to get rid of quickly.

A very enabling post. That jade is nice. Everytime I order from Conought it's in my cart for a while. Also like the modern handle on the vintage tech.20201201

The OMEGA Jade 011842 Premium Pure Bristle is one of my favorite brushes, knot type notwithstanding. Top Tier brush!
Wonderful shave!
I find it hard to break in brushes by using them. Every day of bad lather I feel robbed of a day. I hand lather for a week or two.
I recently took advantage of our triple-digit summer temperatures to break-in six of my more difficult boar brushes. I lathered them every morning using a grated bar of Ivory bath soap. Once thoroughly rinsed, I placed them on the patio to dry during the day. After the bar of soap was exhausted, the brushes were more than ready for use. It was time well spent.
Day 2
I like boar brushes and I cannot lie
You other brothers can't deny...
The Zenith MC/BO3-A26-L (B-20)
I decided on a Schick show for this morning's head shave and beard trim. Since I'm out of practice head shaving with injectors I managed to take a chunk out of the back of my head. Dr Wife patched me up after the obligatory "You're a dumba** for thinking you know what you're doing." Don't let medical people buffalo you. They put on a nice face for the patients but they verbally abuse their spouses.
Schick L1 with unknown blade and uses (I think a "Chick")
PAA Scentsless CK-6
Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel
Clubman Pinaud - because it's glorious!

I Waxed The Badger.
I looked that one up and was suprised it was unbleached. I like the look. I wonder if that is going to be a different feeling than from a bleached brush.

Today's shave will be in a couple hours. Looking forward to it simply because I find these occasional "lock ins" fun. By "lock ins" I mean restricting some aspect of shaving to a certain item or similar. I always learn something via that process.
