  • Brush: Zenith B40 28mm Boar

  • Razor: Parker 510 13/16" Square Point Full Hollow

  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Tobacconist - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

  • Aftershave: Barrister and Mann - Leviathan - Aftershave

2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.


This Zenith boar is progressing incredibly well. It had a tiny bit of funk on first use but that's gone. The bristles were stiff but not objectionable on day one also. Now, no funk, and the brush is already beginning to soften.

Tobacco and coffee go so well together. My Leviathan soap was killed long ago, and I only have a couple more uses on this splash. Such an amazing scent.

This one needs to become more than a sample.
