  • Brush: Declaration Grooming B14 “Nebula” Badger
  • Razor: Schick Hydro Magic
  • Blade: Schick Injector (3)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Sheep - Soap
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Unscented - Aftershave feat. House of Mammoth - Permafrost
  • Osma: Osma - Osma
  • Scuttle: Georgetown Pottery - G20

Yesterday I complained I wasn’t getting a good lather with this brush and hadn’t for a long time after it being amazing for awhile. /u/Zimora suggested a 1:1 vinegar rinse with Dawn. Since I had previously washed it with shampoo I skipped the Dawn and since I like to overdo things I did a 2/3rd vinegar 1/3rd water solution. I let it sit for like 10 minutes because I got distracted by other things.

It worked great! The lather I got was superior in every way. After a few shaves I may do it again to get out residual hardness, and I think I’ll give the rest of my brushes the same treatment considering we had hard water for so long.
