This is another LG PRACTICE post. But also as we gear up for lather games I thought I’d do a little self imposed theme. I had originally intended to use my newly acquired Moar Boar to open lather games. But I realized using that brush first time with a little smush would be bad news.
So instead I did a shave today somewhat dedicated to this community. Hygge is supposed to convey comfort and togetherness. Something I think is done in internet form here on this sub.
The wanderer because a) it plays well with hygge and b) I can back fill this with some excuse about my SOTD posts being a wandering mess.
The moar boar which u/j33pguy13 helpfully set up a buy with someone who had one they wanted to sell on Facebook. Still not sure what went down exactly but I sent some money he provided my address and now I have one.
This thing is a beast. I initially under loaded it but had a had a good first pass. For pass 2 I went to face lathering which is where this thing shines (and my experience with my other “less” boar matches that.) got a good (but little thick) lather and a great shave. Dunno why but boars seem to result in closer shaves for me. Could be the face lathering. Cannot wait to keep using this brush. Tommorow us my speed day which means boar and face lathering so I’ll use it again. And it’s size will be perfect for leg day.
Nothing special about the creed except I’m off to church and niche smell tend to not work there.
Just a few days left. Looking forward to shenanigans with you all for a month.
