Hey Kirk, Not sure if you tried the Dawn dish soap trick posted in the tutorials but it seriously helped mine. I had a NASTY funk on mine and it is completely gone. This thing is SWEET now.

I'm still waiting for some creative Red White & Blue one.
LET'S DO THIS!

Yes! 
My new one stinks, but it's a manly funk. I'm only glad I didn't have to take the nape of this boar's neck in my teeth, bringing it down, bacon-be-damned. I'd rather snack on the end of a festered skunk, I would.

I thank the brush team too. We should be grateful for all their work in bringing to us one of the greatest bargains in shaving!
not that big of a deal to me....I have one of the frosted blue B&B brushes and I like it a lot....just not crazy about the way it feels in my hand...I'm glad I have one and was able to show support of B&B...but there are so many brushes to try I don't see me getting duplicates of any of my brushes unless I just flat wear one out that I love
I am noticing some of the funk going away after each shave. I have used it everyday for at least 5 days now. Will use it for a few more days and then put it into my rotation. <smiling>

Mine was pretty funky to start. Gave it a Dawn soak for a few hours first night, lathered conditioner in the shower, shaved with it once, and have twice left lather on it overnight.
After all that, the smell is almost gone. Certainly far enough gone that it isn't "stinky" any more, just has some noticeable scent left which will go away with time (my Omega 49 didn't seem to take very long). I've noticed with boar brushes the bristles seem to hang onto soap scent more so than badger brushes (which is kind of nice, getting a whiff of whatever you used last if you give the brush a sniff).

I am having a problem...mine is just chewing through my Puck of MWF, am I over-loading it?
Man! I am loving this latest B&B. It feels super soft and it isn't even broken-in yet.

Yes, its an excellent boar knot.

Really nice, James. Good, clear photos.
I'm not really into pink, but that Sue tribute handle looks really nice.
