🐽 🐷 🐖 🐗 DecemBOAR 2023!!! Only Boar Brushes for all of December! 🐽 🐷 🐖 🐗

DecemBOAR 4, 2023 -- Monday Evening Edition

Used on single Nacet DE blade in Paradigm Salient. Achieved a much more comfortable shave using only one blade

I understand Zenith supplies the knots for the RazoRock Blondie brush. The bleached bristles are softer than the unbleached out of the box. This brush is probably the best $7 (after Xmas sale) spent on shaving so far.

Wow!!!

Flat Bottom Tech, Israeli Personna (fresh), Proraso Pro Boar, Mr Taylor's, Aqua Velva.

A great, super smooth shave combo. Some people have mentioned the Proraso oinker as a lather hog, but I load heavy and never had any problems!

I just took this snap of the little Omega 80056 (for my son) I mentioned earlier, now that it is dry, with an Omega Jade that came out of the box on Decemboar 1.

I'm actively working on breaking-in these two.

BTW: @Beto Salatini, in recent days I've been listening to the classic John Coltrane/Johnny Hartman album, and I'm just finishing up listening to Harman's 1956 debut album Songs From the Heart. Cheers!

Thank you very much for the mention and for the splendid photo, dear friend.

I'm glad we have similar tastes. I could hear Johnny Hartman singing until Judgment Day

Cheers!

DecemBOAR 5

I won’t BOAR you with all of the details but, for a newer Boar Brush, my Omega 11137 has broken in quickly and feels fantastic.

It’s C-Suite or BOARdroom ready.

BRISTLES -ing with anticipation until I whip up another lather with it.

Happy DecemBOAR 5th folks!

5th of Decemboar…..
Omega 20102 pro boar now nicely broken in. Rolls Royce type luxury for a very modest outlay.
Gillette ‘69 (03) Super adjustable on position 5. Upped to 6 for second pass
Suneko super blade
arko! (this is the way Si!)
Lovely shave with this gang today. This model Gillette is my favourite adjustable razor. Tried the Suneko blade in it….couple of chin weepers but a BBS….getting consistent great shaves at the expense of the odd weeper. Jury still out. Will keep you posted.
