Zenith horse hair brushes aren't always easy to find, but the Spanish reseller yourshaving.com has a very good assortment. The Zenith badger brushes are very good too, but I won't get another of their boar brushes.

Try the Zenith Manchurians.

I like my Zenith boars, too, but my Mondial is my favorite boar and the Omega Premium Jade by Connaught is the best boar I own I think.

Happy shaves,

Jim

Very nice!

I've read that the Kiebitz BroSem #28 is a good quality razor so I brought this one home yesterday. The scales are good, the blade has no frown or chips, and it appears to have very little hone wear. Overall it's in pretty good condition.

I've got the one to the left. It's worth twice the cost of it.

Oops, I just realized I put this in the wrong spot. It should be in new acquisition.

Thank you. The shape of the Torrey's tang, normal on top but very thin at the bottom, surprised since I'd never seen it in a razor before me but I didn't find it to be awkward

Good to know, thanks. I have an "Our 136" that has the same tang and also a Lakeside with the same tang. I don't have either one honed yet, that's why I was curious.

Been out of town the last month or so. Happy to be back to my straight den and got my first real straight shave in since I’ve been back. Love my Feather, it’s been my go to while in more austere conditions but it’s nothing quite like the actual straights.

Tonight's shave was with a Friedmann & Lauterjung. Nothing fancy but I've used it probably 8 or 10 times and every time it's been great.
