The Monthly Haul: September 2022

Gentlemen, let's see those acquisitions in September.

Charlie, I expect you'll like this brush.  The SOC remains, for me, the best boar brush available.  The Semogue butterscotch is quite nice.

Ricardo, I’m enjoying the Semogue C5 Torga and the Danidom Endeavor so much I've taken to expanding my boar brush horizons. Last time I had an SOC boar I was inexperienced and got rid of it too soon. I figure all the guys who’ve been loving their boar brushes must know something I’ve been missing. Hence the new SOC and the jade Omega.

Big Scrubby! Is it a heavyweight, KW40?

It's chrome plated copper. Has some weight to it, but nothing crazy.

Kewl. I’m glad to hear it’s not chrome plated plastic.

Quality gear, Charlie. The SOC boar is my second favorite. Only just behind:

My #1 Boar is the Mondial. Softest and most satisfying by a long shot.

Carbon Shaving Cx Copper Handle: now the hunt for the unicorn starts. Trying to find the copperhead for it, and the base plate that I want. I'm not sure if all the optional plates were available with the copper.

Thanks! I was hoping so. It's not like I don't have anything to experiment with in the meantime, but would like the matching head.

The boar exploration continues…

Based on Primo's experience I'm going to start experimenting with adding menthol to Florida Water.  My ingredients have arrived.  If this works out well, I may eventually create my own version of Fine Snake Bite, which consists of only water, alcohol, and menthol.
