The Sixth Day Of Weckoning is upon us

  • Brush: Rubberset 400-3 with a 26 mm unbleached Zenith boar knot at 56 mm loft
  • Razor: Weck Sextoblade Med Prep
  • Blade: Kismet Rostfrei, Polymer beschichtet (12)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Oceana
  • Post Shave: Ralon – Original
  • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Island Man

Somehow, my boar has redeveloped a bit of funk and that's after 61 uses. I'm a bit surprised and at a loss why that could be.

I had broken this brush in during last year's Inaugural Raw Hoggin' challenge and it's an odd brush. I widened the Colin Ferrule just enough to barely fit the 26 mm unbleached Zenith knot, and if l I've set it rather low, so it's got the strongest backbone of all my brushes. Combined with the soft Zenith tips, this makes for a unique and delightful brush. I hope the funk goes away again soon.

The brush is on vacation in a foreign country. I don't find it surprising that it would release the pig.

Good point I hadn't considered 😅
