I don't know what it is about this tub of Rumble, but it requires significantly more water during face lather-building than the other 15 varieties of HoM Tusk-based soaps that I've used. This tub is from the original production of Rumble and is a bit dried out, but so is my tub of Fú Dào and it still behaves similarly to my other HoM soaps. While it takes longer to get Rumble fully hydrated, that means I'm spending more time face-lathering and that should benefit the breaking-in of the Unbleached Boar.
Here's the Day 12 bristle break-in progress pictures taken just before the shave. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
