Sunday, November 10, 2024: SLS

  • Brush: Omega - 10048 boar
  • Razor: Rockwell - 6C
  • Blade: Bolazano - Superinox (2)
  • Lather: Stirling - Black Ice
  • Post: Stirling - Deep Blue Sea Aftershave splash (+ menthol)
  • Post: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
  • Frag: Stirling - Deep Blue Sea EdT

Easy shave tonight. The Omega whipped up an excellent lather as always.

I ordered the Stirling 31mm boar brush last week and am really looking forward to getting my hands on an even thicker boar brush.

You won’t be disappointed with that brush. Just use it for one month straight. The Stirling 31mm is the same model as the Moar Boar. Once broken in, you won’t want to stop using it. Nice SLS! Enjoying BBS November?

Yeah, I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. It's good practice and gives me a chance to use all this soap I have lying around. :)

I'm very much looking forward to breaking that brush in. It seems to be the largest diameter boar brush offered currently, do you know of any that are larger?

[–] gcgallant 2 points 2 weeks ago

This is the largest diameter boar that I’m aware of.

Yes, once you get into the rhythm of it, BBS November allows you to get more in touch with your collection of gear.
