May 19th, 2025: Smooth
I almost used a DE today, but thrill got the best of me. Great shave with the MOARteen. My skin isn't quite as happy as it usually is, but it'll be fine.
The shave I got is ultra smooth. Frankie & Myrna is one of my favorite smells. Such a nice blend of interesting scents.
For anyone who likes the MOAR Boar brush, but wishes it had a little bit more loft - you should get a Zenith B2. I include both nomenclatures in the SOTD so you can either search for B03-A26 and get it cheap from Europe, or search for B2 and pay a little more to have it shipped from the USA (B2 is the designator used by The Gentle Shave). Naturally, it's sold out right now https://www.thegentleshave.com/collections/boar-brushes/products/zenith-pro-aluminum-handle-big-boar-shave-brush-26x57mm-knot-b2?variant=1670381371417. It's available from Europe, though https://yourshaving.com/gb/shaving-brushes/1256-zenith-pure-bristle-bleached-aluminum-handle-a26-se.html
