Brush: TGN 24mm boar in Trotter Handcrafts Coho

This was the first use of the brush, other than 8-10 hand lathers to start breaking it in. It only lost 5 hairs on the first pass. Dave in KY, is the a limit before it would be banished from your shave space?!

The brush had both a great face feel and the handle felt perfect in my hand. I did have to reload with a few swirls off the puck again, as the lather was looking too thin. But it sure was slick! Is it my imagination or is the soap somehow different with a boar?!

Awesome picture Eric! And yes, I have to reload my boarz after each pass. I find the coarse and unruly hair makes a great quality lather, just not much of it (probably due to lack of density). Yer not in synthetic land anymore grasshopper. Welcome to the jungle...

Can anyone recommend a good source for premium boar knots?

Banishment is handled on a case by case basis with multiple considerations which includes but is not limited to the current state of mind and mood of the user Big Grin

Good to know! I may need to keep some notes. Thanks for the info!

I definitely agree and think the lather comes out different than with a Synth. Even in my test lathers, I was seeing a lot thinner, less airy, and slicker lathers.

This will be a good month for 'testing' these differences.

I agree, and am looking forward to it!

Well, that's why it would be funny. You could lather up the mask (with a boar brush of course) and make a video pretending to shave. Maybe throw in a few dry-humor boar jokes for DFS entertainment value.

... IDK, maybe I'm the only one here with a weird/twisted sense of humor.

Happy2 on having a weird/twisted sense of humor!!! I'm not sure how the other marmots would react if I scamper into the den with that thing on! Big Grin

But on a less serious note, the best part of that mask is the eye!
