I love the Oumo boar I have in my rubberset and have some more that I got for vintage handles that are smaller size knots. I may have to try that turn N shave at some point too.

Second Decemboar Shave

My first brush, 1 year old. The classic Omega 49. For me, nothing lathers up a triple milled soap better.

My first boar was also the 49, but I didn't give it a fair shake, and sadly moved it to a new home.

LOVE the Semogue LE 2018. It’s the most brilliant Boar ever done, it’s truly special.  I’ve tried many vintage/modern.  Looks like a boar, behaves like a scritchy badger. If you have a chance to grab this off a BST, don’t hesitate.
That brush looks gorgeous. I'll have to keep an eye out for one. I'm guessing 2018 is going to be hard to find. Anyone who didn't like it got rid of it long ago. Still, thanks for the tip!
Get this brush when one surfaces…the end

OK, I'll play along. How do you know, Stubble Daddy, that it is a special boar?
I'm guessing because it's name LE (Limited Edition), has a year, and was made for the Shave Nook?

Also, I'm guessing Paul has one.

But... I'll play along too, how do you know?

ExtraProtein I was lucky enough to snag another TSN LE Boar today… I won’t be letting this one go!

When you sold me your LE a couple years ago I was like, “madness.” And you took care of me on price too, cowboys wanted 5x the price, you only charged me double, lololololol

Seriously though, you took care of me on price, appreciate you!

Your boar and zebra are here to stay.  Remember the Zebra story? You withdrew it the moment you posted, I waited a year until you were truly done.  It’s rare to find a perfect zebra with gorgeous stripe work and perfect symmetry.  Bernd knots…psshhhhhhht, another Artisan doing his due diligence with hair selection.  The knot alone would fetch 150 quid today.  Every now and then you happen upon a knot that’s exceptional like this

If I failed to say it; Thank You for the good business we have done and will do in the future!
