We're 5 days into AA RawHoggin and still no funky smells have emanated from the Unbleached Boar. The bristles are slowly starting to split, but the knot's still dropping two to three bristles each shave. Overall progress is a little behind last AA's 506U break-in, but since the 506U was bleached and this 507N is unbleached, the delayed progress is understandable.
Here's the Day 5 bristle break-in progress pictures taken just before the shave. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
