Filly 14 Sub Cero, a Thäter boar did the lathering on Strop Shoppe Russian Tea tallow, and Myrsol AB and a spritz of Floris 1962 finished up a nice December shave.

The Thäter boar was my first boar brush bought a couple of years ago off a BST. The knot is very similar to a SOC in density and backbone but is a little larger, and of course the handle is an iconic Thäter style. I wouldn’t pay $80-85 US for it, but at $35 and on it’s way to broken in, why not?

Well, kamisori aren’t nicknamed ‘terror sticks’ for nothing, lol!

Today’s razor was a 1940s vintage orihi (‘gutter’ type) Japanese kamisori. Soap was MdC original in the ‘brain bowl’ with a thin film of MdC 4-oil Marseilles soap (very, very, slick) under the lather. An Omega boar did the lathering and there’s Myrsol Agua Balsamica in the St Germain bottle that’s a space saver in the bathroom.

I have another orihi kamisori coming tomorrow I hope, so it may be a honing day soon.
