Boar brush troubles. I had difficulty getting any kind of sustainable lather with the Omega 11126 this morning. On the third attempt, using cold water, I got a face lather worthy of the PAA soap I had chosen to use. There was lather on the brush for a second pass, but it was way too thin to want to use. The brush was reloaded, again, and the second pass accomplished. A fine two pass shave if only I could get the damn brush to work. My face was left mildly irritated by so much brush action and a good dollop of Bart’s Balm was needed to help settle things down. I’m so bored with these boars, back to my totally reliable synths from now on.

Pre - Palmolive Sea Minerals
Soap - Tallow Tabac Stick
Brush - Yaqi Plissoft 22mm
Razor - Gillette FB Tech on Yaqi Handle
Blade - Gillette Nacet Stainless (2) (2019)
Post - alum/ Effect Cucumber
AS - Chat d'Or Boxter

An attempt to recreate yesterday's shave but the newer Nacet. I think there is a slight difference between the old and new Nacets. Probably not enough of a difference to really worry about. I will give both blades some more time in the shave before deciding.

A great shave though, aside from a small weeper. The tallow Tabac lather is one of the very best I have come across. I have a few sticks to see me through, I will miss it when I eventually see them through (I never seem to finish anything though!)

A very decent shave with the modern London Bridge. I'd say it's smoother than the vintage English version made by Wilkinson Sword, and equally as sharp.
I look forward to giving this another go tomorrow.

If you alternate between Pornhub and TSR rather than using both simultaneously, you should find your speed improves.
