First time trying a brush other than badger, and I’m struggling. The boar brush didn’t seem to pick up much of the soap from the tub and was significantly harder to use. Hopefully over the course of the month it will break in a little and provide a better experience. Otherwise, it was nice to be using Sonder for another AA.

Today went a little better with the new boar, thanks to u/putneycj. Still need to work on the lathering a bit, but got a much better shave.

Realized in my rush yesterday I forgot to update my blade usage. I am in fact still using the same blade and on day 4 and so far so good. This is the point I normally bin the blade and get a fresh one, but not this month. While the lather continues to get better with the boar brush I still find it doesn’t hold anywhere near as much lather as my badgers. Still smelling a little ripe too, but I guess that’s to be expected. Tags: #MammothMafia23 #RawHoggin

Early morning shave today, not exactly what I want to do on Saturdays. The brush continues its positive trend, but I miss my bowl already and its only day 5. Other than that a nice smooth shave.

For whatever reason I couldn’t access the sub for the better part of the day or I would have posted earlier. August shaves continue to go smooth and I’m just waiting to start feeling the blade get bad.

Day 7 and I feel like pretty much all of the pig smell is gone. Not that it really bothered me too much though. Guess all the time I spent around hogs in my youth made that smell a little less offensive. Lather continues to get better now that I have a little more of a system. One week down.

Starting week two and I’m feeling the sharpness of the blade begin to decline. Still was able to manage a smooth shave, but it’s just not feeling as sharp as it did.

I don’t smell any more of the hog on the brush. Not sure whether I’m nose blind or it’s actually gone. Either way the shave is a little bit better.

Today was probably my best lather day yet. I finally feel like I have this brush dialed in for face lathering. I'm not sure how much more broken in a boar brush can get, but I’m betting I’m there. 10 more days of AA.

Thirty one days with 1 brand new boar brush, 1 razor, 1 blade, 1 soap, 1 splash. I’m not sure I will ever subject myself to the one blade for 31 days ever again, but I’m glad I did it at least once. I now know a blade CAN function for 31 days, but the shave definitely degrades for me. The boar brush has actually been much better than I would ever have expected. Ya it smelled a bit and was scratchy to start off, but it has turned into a pleasant brush that has significantly softened up. I look forward to going back to a little more freedom with my shave choices in September.
