In reality, I'm not much of a boar fan. I keep giving well regarded Boar brushes a chance, just to see. This one is the first one among them that will find it's way into my rotation. IMHO, it outperforms my former Omega brushes hands down.

Shave went very well, except 2 small nicks, nothing majors, but I had stropped my razor about 100+ strokes til my arm was tired, and that gave the razor a crazy sharp edge/smooth, didn't realize how sharp. Did get a BBS as usual though. Fool's pass, Coup De Matre, etc...

How did you find the Shave off the Globusmen Sir Max?
Mine is amongst my favourite Shavers, a keeper for sure.

Shaving today for an interview and a date with my wife.

Brush: Bjanzen custom
Razor: Crown Razor 6/8
Soap: Mitchel's Wool Fat
Splash: Thayer's Witch Hazel Lavender

Strop: Tony Miller Practice Strop

Results: Great shave. I never like to put BBS because I like to comment on the whole shave experience, not the result of the shave .

Lip is now smooth all directions, even S to N. Chin is getting much better. Hopefully the interview will go well.
