It's boar brush day over here and I have this brand new Omega 31052 who has seen her first day of action today, after having been thoroughly broken in throughout this week. Tips are all split and functional, and the brush is a joy to use. I have another one like this one, which has lost (as a rough estimation) around a 20% of its overall knot density, shedding hairs like crazy some time ago. That hair loss notwithstanding, the brush still performed well, but its ability to lather up was somehow compromised, hence my decision to purchase a new one. The older one is now retired with honours and this one has just jumped in to replace her, time will tell if she becomes better than her older sister. So far, it's looking good.

Loved the soap. Top class lather with a refreshing and invigorating scent, with menthol level kept within rational boundaries. I felt the cold, but didn't shed tears.
