Rawr is so good. It's actually nice out today, almost spring-like despite the snow on the ground. This sample is circa 2020 or so, so I'm not sure if it's the same base that NO has now. Either way the lather was excellent.

I'm breaking in a new boar brush today. I love my SOC boar, but I think it'd be good to have some variety. I did a few days of the boar brush initialization procedure but I got impatient.

The Zenith seems so much more dense than the SOC. It's set a good amount higher (57mm) but it's got much more backbone. It's wider (27.5mm vs 24mm) but hasn't bloomed just yet.

Have a good day.
