My goal when loading my brush is to have enough soap to build 4 passes worth of lather. For the first few days of AA I needed to load 2.1g of soap to have 4 passes of lather. Today I loaded 1.7g and had at least 5 passes of lather. Today's lather quantity is a good sign that the bristle break-in is progressing nicely, but as a precaution I'll continue to load on the heavy side until the unbleached boar is completely broken in.
Here's the Day 8 bristle break-in progress pictures. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
