    Early morning shave, evening post. One of those days, I suppose. Turned a few new handles this week. This one and another similar one. Posted about them in the brushmakers thread. Put a Zenith Boar in it. A test lather last night and then the first shave with it this morning. Zero skunkiness with this knot, and it probably isn’t going to take a ton of break in. Not a super lather, but I did rush a bit.
    I’ll have an Omega/Zenith comparison at some point, I think.
    Have a great night all!

    Thank you so much Randy. The baking really made the paint thicken and crackle . I sanded it down after to get the smooth finish it has now . My girlfriends father seen the pic and said I ruined it . He didn't realize I wasnt finished with it . I'm going to use it for tomorrows shave .

    Nice colors in the handle! Going to see what you post in the Turners thread, and I want to hear your thoughts on Zenith vs Omega. I haven't tried a Z yet and feel O makes great knots in cheap handles for good donors.
