Today is AA hump day. The unbleached boar is still slowly-but-steadily breaking-in, with tips starting to split, knot splaying just enough for the bristles to be scrubby without being scritchy, and the backbone being right where I like it. If the current splay and backbone are retained when the knot becomes fully broken in, I can see this becoming my favorite brush. Time will tell.
Here's the Day 16 bristle break-in progress pictures taken just before the shave. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
