  • Brush: Zenith B15
  • Razor: RazoRock Game Changer 0.84 OC
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet (5)
  • Lather: Saponificio Varesino - Desert Vetiver
  • Post Shave: Lucky Tiger - Lucky Tiger
  • Post Shave: Declaration Grooming - Original Liniment

I'm getting the feel of this soap. I start with all the water shaken out of the brush, load until it gets pasty, then dip the tips in sink and continue loading. I added water to the brush 3 times during loading. I painted the proto-lather onto my face. Then, I dipped the tips of the brush in water and work it into the proto-lather using painting strokes about 3 times on each side until it starts to thin. From there, I worked the brush, and added water a few more times until I got it hydrated.

I don't know how many ways I can say this, but this brush is fantastic. It's become easy to splay. The backbone is medium strength. The size is perfect.
