I soaked the hog for a couple minutes today before loading. It was a little better, but it may take the whole month before it will be soft enough to splay. I like the smooth feeling of the olive wood handle, but I’d prefer a shape more like my copper Zenith. Shave was ok, but no awards for closeness yet. One thing I notice more with straight shaving, is my vision is worse when shaving the right side. I am a bit cross dominant in my eyes. That was good sometimes in Little League batting right. I’ll check my prescription, but either the astigmatism, myopia, or both are worse in my right eye. Just adds to the awkward feeling shaving with a straight. Not sure about the amount left, but I’m guessing sometime around end of week 3 to early week 4 for the soap kill. I forgot to take a before pic of the brush, but I’ll get an after one once it is a little drier.
