I really like this Hibernia soap, light, citrus and summery, a lovely face Lather today with the little X1 best, the scent of the soap ever present during the lather build up, plenty held in the little brush for the shave.
2 passes and a touch up on the whirlpools for an easy comfortable BBS finish, the blade has been banked on #4, just in case, no point in pushing it, i should say 3 shaves in a DE before this shave, so its done well.
A nice post shave continuing the citrus theme. very nice.
Boar Break-in
Another couple of test lathers with the new boars to aid the break in.
Again with the Williams Mug shaving soap.
Both Performed well.

TAJ
I think the lather from the Torga was better as i now realise the TAJ holds a bit more water, nothing a bit more whisking will not cure.
They are starting to look like used brushes now, i think i will start using them from next week, strictly Bowl lathering until the tips begin to split.
