  • Brush: Zenith B40 28mm Boar

  • Razor: Puma 89 #2 11/16 Full Hollow

  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Almond Leather - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

  • Aftershave: Unilever - Brut - Aftershave

2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.


After only 7 uses, this brush has started to handle lather pretty well I'm getting good flow-through of lather which, to me, marks the end of lather hogging. The tips have felt good since the beginning and have been getting more flexible and softer with each day. This will certainly be a boar brush to rival the Moar Boar.

This Puma razor has a edge on it that was pushed the farthest on my current coticule [I've had other cotis before this one]. By far, it's the best edge I've produced on this stone. I'm excited to do another.
