Brush Unboxing - https://imgur.com/KzH1Q9D
Got the Zenith Short and Scrubby to do face lathering and it has been okay. No real stink and really stiff and eats lathers like crazy. I had very little soap for the second pass. Also one of the reason i chose the Excelsior base as it will be easy to lather. Razor was able to smooth for 2 pass shave. The L'Orange Noir pairs well with the soap and finished off with the balm. Good start to the week and month.

2 pass face shave is still good. The brush didn't shed any hair today but it has slight more splay. Hope the brush stops eating the lather soon. Not sure if the aftershave has menthol but sometimes i feel it. Finished with balm. No complaints today.

2 pass face shave and using light touch to shave so that it can last all 30 shaves. Brush is doing a bit better after a week. Soap is performing good.
Little burn when applying aftershave and the balm helped to finish things off.
Good start to the day and the week.

2 pass face shave. The brush is getting better. Shed couple of hairs today. Loaded heavy so what i the brush can eat some. Razor and blade are still doing a great job. Post shave was good with light burn but nothing the balm couldn't solve.

2 pass face shave and surprised the blade is still doing well. Brush is breaking nicely but keeps eating lather. I guess that is how boar brush are.
Slight burns when applying aftershave but cooled down with the balm.

The brush and soap is starting to perform a little better but i have started to load a little soap again in the second pass. The blade has started to tug but still was able to complete 2 pass.
Not sure how this blade is going to last the next 2 weeks but will go on.
Nice burns when applying aftershave and everything soothed down with the balm.

Today i feel the bristles are a little softer than usual. Midway point for the brush and performance is getting better. Blade is skipping so using light touches which is still cutting with ease.
Slight burns when applying aftershave and the balm to soothe things. Good start to the week.

I saw 2 or 3 bristles in the brush has split. I guess this means the brush is starting to break. Hopefully this also stops eating the lather.
The blade and razor are still performing decent. The second pass is not the best but is doing the job.
Burns are the same when applying the aftershave and the balm is soothing.

2 pass face shave and things are still going okay. The brush it getting softer but keeps eating lather.
Razor and blade are still doing fine though there are times where i feel its not cutting but just apply more lather and try again.
Post shave is the same and the balm is keeping things calm.

Went to office after 3 months and was productive and almost forgot to post this.
Brush is getting better each day and producing better lather. Did a quick 2 pass shave as i wanted to leave early and this is almost the best shave.
Maybe this blade works better for quick strokes. Will keep experimenting.

The brush and soap are performing better now. I have also starting to add more water at the start during loading the soap.
2 pass quick face shave as this best way to get good shave with this blade.
After shave had some burns but nothing the balm couldn't handle

the brush is getting softer and i lost couple of bristles today. Some say to just paint with boar and not scrub that way you will not loose bristles but not sure if that is true. Will paint the next 6 days and see if that makes any difference.
2 pass quick shave which is the best way for me, more burns when applying the aftershave but nothing the balm can handle.

Today did a 2 pass face shave and 1 pass head shave. The brush created great lather today, does it mean its broken in but can never trust a boar brush. The razor and blade are amazing. I think i may have found a go to razor for head shaves.
Slight burns with after shave and the balm kept everything in check. Perfect.
Back to office is starting from next week. :(

Slight burns when applying aftershave and the balm cooled things but i started getting some burn when i came out. Forgot to apply sunscreen. which might have caused the burn.

The brush is soft and scrubby and i feel this can be a great brush. Created amazing lather with great backbone. The blade is still cutting which is great. I think i will continue to use this blade for head shave after AA gets over.
The aftershave had it burn and the balm kept things in check.

The brush has broken a bit and i think it can get better. If you have a good amount of soap it is creating a great lather.
Thought i would have to change the blade mid way but this is a good and i'm going to keep using this blade.
Today i found that the aftershave was based on Terre D'Hermes perfume from the Fine website.
Aftershave and balm did the usual. Happy to have taken part.
