Nice setup! What's behind the term "Shoat"?

[โ€“] snooting@wetshav.ing 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I believe shoat refers to a young pig that's recently been weaned. I can't say that I notice a huge difference compared with my other boar knots. If anything, the hairs are a bit thinner, but it's hard to say.

Thank you! Somehow, it didn't occur to me that I could just Google it. Senility sucks!
