Austere Agoust - Day 5

  • Brush: Ever-Ready 200 - GDMG Black Boar 27mm
  • Razor: Zwilling J.A. Henckels - Friodur 14
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Sonder
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Sonder (Aftershave Splash)
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Sonder Edp

The Black Boar knot

The knot is deeply disappointing to me. If there is one thing I can't stand in a brush, it is excessive bristle shredding. Yesterday I realized that the soap had sections of bristles of approximately 5mm, I could count more than 15, today I put less pressure loading the soap just the tips with almost no force. But they continue to break, they are so britle, today I count more than 6. It's too soon in August, let's see how it evolves.

The Friodur is outstanding #nostroping and it's performing almost like the first day.
