Joel, I bet that brush stinks. It took two weeks to get the stank out of my Omega Pro.

Not too bad... what I do is I wash it out really well with shampoo, let it dry, then I stick it behind my air purifier. The air purifier seems to take 90% of the rank smell out. No matter what you do though - with boar it takes awhile.

Nonetheless I have been most pleased with it. It works quite well and gets the job done just fine!

I actually run SOTD's one day behind - and this morning I used the "best" badger Edwin Jagger.... good lord.... that thing is an absolute demon when lathering shaving soaps.... so far, it very well may be my favorite shaving brush... period.

Scotto,
Salter is without question my favorite brand of shaving cream. I personally find it to be the most efficacious, moisturizing, easiest to use, and closest cutting shaving cream out there. If you are a rose fan - their wild rose is THE best rose scent, bar none (of course in my opinon). Their sandalwood is also fantastically interesting.

Just as an FYI - their limes is medeocre, and the almond is nice - but the three T's have a nicer almond scent.
