The shave was a great way to start the day.  My first use of the Zenith Pro B02 Boar was everything I had hoped it would be.  After soaking the brush, I loaded the MW Lime soap from the puck and began face lathering.  The Zenith feels very soft already and it whipped up nice slick lather with little effort.  I intend to put the new brush to some use of the next several days.  Going with my usual 2 pass shave, XTG & ATG, followed by minimal touch ups ended in a near BBS.  This is about as good as I ever get on work days.  Finished up the shave with a splash of F&C Capri.  I hope everyone has a great day.

Decent shave
While packing to move, I found an old sample of Stirling Sharp Dressed Man, and I decided to use it today. Sadly, most of the scent has gone - I'm not sure how old the soap is - maybe 3 years? It lathered up easily and made shiny thick lather. The shave was just decent, though - maybe other soaps have surpassed this one, or its age has made it a bit less protective. This sample may wind up as a shower soap instead. I got one weeper and a little burn. I finished with TTFFC Devil's Cut and my face feels fine and very moisturized.

Still too lazy for a pic. This is another tub of soap that only has a few shaves left. I have maybe three tubs that only have 2-3 shaves left and I am planning on knocking them off in the next couple of weeks.
