@ned @wetshaving The brush? Thanks. I learned about Zenith boar brushes through a post here on Mastodon, and this brush in particular was recommended.
I reviewed a couple of others in this post: https://sharpologist.com/boar-brush-bounty/
Lovely new boar brushes
Thanks to a recommendation from @Mayana, I now have three new boar shaving brushes, which already seem excellent.
@mantic59 I like the Antica Barbieria boar brush, but I do find that the Omega Pro 48 is noticeably better in feel (on the face) and performance. The Antica Barbieria does have a much better handle, though.
Give the Pro 48 a dozen shaves or so to break in. (In fact, for the first week I just load the brush, work up a lather in my cupped palm, then rinse out the brush, shake it dry, and put it away.)
First step in investigating a lather problem.

Disenchanted with a brush I once liked.
