Last Sunday my mother ordered this http://www.westcoastshaving.com/Omega-10066-Boar-Shaving-Brush_p_470.html for me witch i am very happy to have a mother who is under standing of my wet shaving hobbie
Waiting is the hardest part! You're sure to enjoy it! Hey, MY mom never bought me any shaving gear. Hmmmrmmph! She's probably still angry with me over my foisting a bottle of my Tabac cologne on her....
LOL my mom just about bought all my shave gear but I'm under age and heck she thinks its awesome I've learned this skill
A precautionary note; New boar brushes can be notoriously stiff, stinky and stingy about giving up lather. DO expect and allow for some break-in time with the brush. you'll be amazed at the difference when a boar brush is thoroughly 'broken in.' It will soften and bloom over time.
Mine just got here today. Leaving for a weekend trip in the morning, so it will have to wait until next week for break in.
You sure have a nice Mum ( English spelling) to not only take an interest in your hobby but knows enough about it tpo get you a nice brush! Lucky dude. My Mum bought me shaving gear once, for my first ever shave and old, very old electric razor she found at a car boot sale, it smelt bad the only thing that came to mind from the smell was - Dead person. I was scared stiff to use it this thing. It made a horrible noise, shook widely and i was convinced it was going to chew up my face, so I didn't use it As I only had like 3 hairs on my chin i would sneak in to my parents bathroom and use my Stepdads cartridge razor for the weekly trim on my 3 chin hairs. You are a lucky dude. Enjoy the brush. Do you have any pics of the brush you are getting?
