I’ll try and shave each day using an OC this month. I have a plan to do a personal 7 day challenge of using only TOBS shave creams for a whole week.

Interesting. I haven't tried hair conditioner, but have had a few boar knots that I thought didn't give up their lather easily enough. Using them enough to have the tips split properly solved a lot of the issue. Zeniths come to mind for sure. How many days do you have on that knot so far?
This was true even when they were still being made...the prices are insane, now. I still have about 60 left, at least.
Probably even a few more '49s (or '83, same thing) than the '98, I think. The '98 is a keepable handle at least, the '49 is just begging to be knocked apart. Even how the knot is held in it is easier than the '98.
Great Baume.Be shave, Gary! My new tub arrived from Maggards yesterday! I’ll take it for a spin this weekend! Looks like my MrEE Monster brush is arriving today! Looking forward to receiving it!
