Mawashi Patented 15 min Boar Busting Method lol.

Get a hedgehog pet and use new brushes as back scratchers on it.

Too cute!

Although I must admit a friend's hedgehog only seems to want to hide, eat n poo. It's about as much fun as mouldy bread.

Am I the only one wondering if it would make a good brush?

You guys must have leather for hide lol.
What's next porcupines?

Split hairs are the result of many wet/dry cycles. That's when they really break in and feel soft.

I'm just seeing a mashed and widened loft, are the bristles actually splitting? Doing it with patience will be rewarded with a truly fine lather and shave.

For a Schnauzer perhaps.

Well, of course you'd have to break it in first, before it becomes comfortable.

What about a guinea boar brush?

 

[steveclarkus]

Guys, I believe I’ll keep breaking them the old fashioned way. Ten years of use and soft as a Pusey Cat.

Which end do you use?

 

[steveclarkus]

Two weeks old - has a way to go yet.

 

[naughtilus]

Why not an actual live furry pig?

Hmm, I've used your method to use up shave soaps I didn't really like but I never thought to do it to hasten the break-in process. Oh well, I use synthetics exclusively now but I'll keep it in mind if I ever buy a boar again.

Which end do you use?

Tape their feet together and use that for a handle. Then use their back. Their front end will bite, and the back end makes brown lather, or so I've been told.

I respect that you prefer it the old fashion way. Myself I like to know sooner than later if if the brushes are suitable hence to need for speed.

Yaqi syns are getting so good that perhaps natural hair might not be needed anymore. That's a good thing in my books.

When I prepped for my last colonoscopy I would have given anything for a nice soft guinea pig.

Luckily so far I've just had to do something along the lines of a Cologuard test.

Hi All,

Having recently gotten a couple of Omega boars and finding the usual breaking in method and time necessary a bit of a pain I thought of trying a different approach.
Part 1
The Italian boar appreciation thread (Omega, Zenith, Mondial, Koh-I-Noor, ABC, etc)

Part 2
Having found some success with palm lathering I thought I'll take it a step further with the omega 13522.
The before and after:View attachment 972266 View attachment 972267

The method... Wet the head of brush, shook off some water, 20 sec loading on a plain old shower soap and finally I just used the brush to lather soap like a bath sponge.
That's it, 30 shaves or more worth of breaking was done in 15 mins.

While lathering and using the brush like a shower sponge I could feel the brush getting softer just a couple of mins in.

Having finished my boar brush shower scrub, I had a shave with this freshly broken in brush.

I didn't expect the shorter 55mm loft / 26mm base to be as pillow soft as my synthetic Bruce, but it was a really nice. Just the right blend of backbone, softness and skirtch which is like a mild exfoliating scrub.
The 49 beats the 104 for overall comfort and for bowl lathering but it's a soap hog and eats soap like nothing.

The 104 is the shorter, tougher brother who makes lather easier, if you want a big brush that whips up lather fast and exfoliates some the 10104 is a great brush.

Happy shaves,

Mawashi

This works like charm!
I was bewildered when I first used my boar brush Omega, it didn't lather like synthetic, ate up too much cream,etc..now it's very good, infact joyous to shave with it.
Thanks, Mawashi!

BombayShaver,

You're more than welcome. I too wasn't impressed by a new boar and read countless posts about breaking-ins and how long it takes.

I just thought how to break it in faster and somewhat naturally.

Hope you enjoy your boars !

Happy shaves,

Mawashi

Maybe it is a time to make a YouTube video on this? It could be a help to many users
