  • Brush: Zenith - B03-A26 (B2) 26mm Boar
  • Razor: Licht Werk Magnetic Blue Steel - Solingen - 6/8 Half Hollow (6)
  • Lather: Whole Hog - Unscented - Soap
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Friends to the End - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Friends to the End - Balm

hugbckt's hog ended up in my box, which is a euphemism for him mailing me a sample of his new soap base. Since I'm working my way through my boar brushes, it only made sense to use a boar with this lard based soap.
