- Brush: Zenith B16 24mm Boar
- Razor: GEM Flying Wing
- Blade: Gem PTFE (1)
- Lather: Crown & Crane - Green Tea Soap
- Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Glacial Spearmint Splash
- Post Shave: Crown & Crane - Green Tea Balm
I'm pretty sure I changed my set up 4 or 5 times before ultimately deciding on this before jumping into the shower. I had Glacial Spearmint soap ready to roll this morning until I woke up to a 55 degree morning. I could have tried to hang with the cool kids in the Mammoth Mafia this month, but I have no desire to Nightmare Mode this month because life is too short for shitty shaves. I could have tried to test my sanity by going unscented for a whole month, but I'm not a masochist. I figured I would just roll with a new soap and a new boar and figure out how everything works together.
u/EldrormR is such a demanding guy with his challenge making us post unboxing pics so here they are. I ordered this Zenith right after Raw Hoggin' was announced, but I didn't get it until yesterday morning thanks to my local post office losing it for two weeks. It's bleached and it has no piggy stink, which does not make me sad, but I'm definitely going to be curious as to how quickly this breaks in v. MOAR BOAR. Here is how it looks after its inaugural shave which included two tub loads and face lathering.
My face feels good even though I couldn't get the lather where I wanted it. I smell good and I don't think I'm going to get sick of the smells this month. Sounds like a good start to August. Have a great day all
