Its a 27mm boar knot bought from Boti and set to about 58mm. Total cost of the brush including shipping was around £15. The glue is still curing so I haven't used it yet
... as welcome as finding pubes in your toothbrush.I would never contaminate a good boar with nasty badger fuzz.
Yes ....it is big....but I think it looks right. Will be starting the shampooing tonight.Thanks for the info, it's a very nice looking pig, a very big pig though!
Is it unbleached? Looks like it is. I bought a nice flat boar knot from Oumo which I used a few times, but never really taken to it. My cheap Omega pigs seem to be the ones I tend to favour more than the others.

I just can't let that go unchallenged, even if in jest...you have to give a Semogue mistura a whirl, they really are very, very good knots, quite unique in their face feel. Would even be ok with sending you one to try out. As for the Vulfix bodger, they are badger / boar mix in name only, you could probably count the number of badger hairs these knots have on your fingers and toes, they are for all intensive purpose boar knots.
It's good stuff. (In my opinion) I took delivery of a few today as well. That should see me out for a few years!View attachment 75663
Picked up a bar of the ECO Warrior shaving bar, which even though it's only been on the high streets for a year or two is about to be reformulated and according to Kevy who's used a few of the new formulas he was less than impressed with it.
Out of the box, it has a nice mild lime scent and it's a decent chunky 100g bar of soap. Even though it's not advertised as being triple milled it's a very firm piece of soap. I will give it a go for tomorrow's shave.
I grated mine into a Bulldog bamboo bowl and lather traditionally. I know @culcreuch likes to use it like a shave stick and guess that's how you're intended to use a shaving bar. You'll find your way. I hope you enjoy it!View attachment 75663

Aye man, it was the artwork that brought me in on this one, then description sealed it. I would have grabbed the soap and splash regardless, the EDP was a swing and prayer as I knew they were short stocked. I'll run it past the Mrs for a proper description, my limited ability to describe goes as far as "good" or "bad".Beautiful snatch there!

It is a great one! And collaboration between 3 big artisans so it definitely worth grabbing haha! But trifecta was way more tempting to me! Awesome - looking forward to both your opinions!Aye man, it was the artwork that brought me in on this one, then description sealed it.
