To begin with, I saw @Gairdner's thread about Fat February and I was a little apprehensive to sign up as I do enjoy using a variety of shaving soaps and I said I would be unable to participate.
A few minutes I realised the errors of my ways. Of course I had to participate! A month of using the Fat with my beloved fellows of the 'Brotherhood of the Fat' is something I would rejoice! Fine work Graeme on starting such a noble project. Of course, I need the Fat in my life, especially for the grim of month of February. It's in these times of darkness we need the Fat more than ever.
Now onto the shave, I think it might be the 10th or so shave with this little boar brush. I've finally worked out what it finally is. It's an Omega made 10019, but branded the Goodfellas Smile 'The Hog'. The difference between it and the Omega 10019, is 'The Hog' seems to have partially bleached bristles, whilst the Omega 10019 has unbleached bristles, both have the same handle though.
The brush itself did a fairly good job of building a lather, but seemed to eat a bit of lather considering how much soap I loaded at the start of the shave, decent lather but a little on the thin side of things for my liking. The shave itself was fine, but I'm fairly sure the blade was done for the last shave, pushing it for a 6th shave wasn't ideal but I managed to get the shave done without too much trouble. I'm really impressed with this particular blade, I think I need to use a few more in my closed comb razors to see it fares with those, but it worked beautifully in my OC razors.
My face felt great at the end of the shave, very smooth and great post shave feel from the Fat as ever.
ALL HAIL THE FAT.

Yea, let the Holy Trinity of the Fat pour forth on to thine coupon and youth will always be yours.Through The Fat, we will find greater hope and humility, we will be greater men, and also have delightfully soft faces due to all the tallow/glycerine/lanolin goodness.
May the Fat be with you my fellow brother.
