I’m planning on buying a boar knot when I work out what sort of handle I’d like. Would like to make a handle but don’t have the time at this stage.

Nice! I'd love to see the handle if you get a chance to turn one.

I'll use the semogue and omega boars for the next several days and then I can decide on more boars if today's results are sustained.

Belated SOTD.

Pre: shower then Razorock Mister Joe glycerin soap
Brush: Yaqi Timber Wolf
Soap: Barrister and Mann Seville
Razor: Rockwell 6s (3)
Blade: Merkur (1)
Post: AP Reserve Florian

Second sample of B&M has ended so into a near full tub of Bay Rum tomorrow. Would happily buy Seville when restocking my supplies.

I went through my blades and picked out several where I only have 3 or less in a tuck and want to finish them off. This blade was a bit harsh for the first pass but the next was pretty okay. I know they get a bad rap overall but I’ll try them for 2 days each to use them up.

Is there a market for buyers of used Boar brushes? I don’t see myself using the 2 I have as the last time any soap I had on the brush just dissipated before my eyes...

Next chapter of Barrister & March has begun with the Bay Rum soap. This is the THIRD of his soaps to be used so far this month. Lovely lather with a great scent.

Went for the THREE-way post routine with the Thayers, Floid and finally the Stirling balm. Got a great result that I’m happy with.

Now to take THREE dogs for walks individually. They all need different lengths due to their ages/abilities!

Enjoy the middle day of the THREE day weekend those who have it....

Dog 3 gets three laps

Master gets to sit down and have a beer much sooner!

In theory this would be a great option, but between the oldest dog always looking for a piece of grass to piss or shit on; the middle dog wanting to sniff every message ever left by any dog; and the puppy wanting to chase every bird, butterfly, moth, fly or bee; it is beyond me. Plus a little extra walking is fine by me. I made sure it didn’t cut into any quality shaving time of course!

Oh boy, another sublime shave!!

I said it many years ago that boars generate a rich, lotion-like lather and that's exactly what I got yesterday and today.
It's not something I get from synthetic or badger brushes.

Still haven't finished the new den and unpacked everything but I did find this tin of Vasse Virgin shaving soap I picked up honeymoon. Time to try it out, I thought. For those not in the know, the company is a big deal bath soap and preserve maker in Margaret River. Bath soap is quite good so why not...

Lather is foamy and abysmal with little protection plus it vanishes quickly. It's another case of a bath soapmaker thinking they'll jump on to the bandwagon and they clearly don't wetshave. Scent is nothing bad. Some slickness which sort of lasted and so the shave was actually okay! Probably won't crack it out again.

The Nivea Deep Cleansing aftershave is actually quite good and I'm quite a fan of the shower gel's scent. It's more of a drying alcohol mix than the magic moisturising kind... and so utterly in my wheelhouse.
