    Default Boar Rolls in Dead Monkey! - Proraso Brush

    ... and then they shave the most undesireble part of him to make these brushes.

    At least that's what mine smelled like for about the first week.
    But, don't panic and return the brush to Targets. The smell goes away after about a week or two.

    That's one of the more colorful ways of describing the scent.

    Ahh, yes, the lovely stench of wet, reeking boar emanating from the bathroom and wafting throughout the house!

    Nothing like the smell of dead boar in the morning.

    Marty, truer words were never spoken! Except, maybe a wet badger!

    Borax will make it go away more quickly, and it's not THAT bad...

    Mmm ... dead monkey smell ... makes me want to buy another brush!
    Be there or be square. Only I can do both!
    I've got a cat named Beefeater and a dog named Beefeater, and two goldfish called Beefeater and Beefeater. There's Beefeater my hamster and Beefeater my horse, and my piglet, known as Beefeater of course.

    Bah, cherish those first few shaves, no whining! Or just borax/febreeze them away; once they're gone they will not return.
