Another Brushguy.com brush, as you see, this one a silvertip.
This time I made lather using the method I worked out: Wet brush thoroughly, give it a medium shake to remove excess water, and begin brushing the surface of the soap vigorously, briskly, and firmly. As the lather begins forming and the brush starts to be loaded, I add a driblet of water to the center of the brush (about 1 tsp) and work that into the mix. Today the one addition seemed ample.
I then move brush to beard and work up the lather. I can add a little more water if I want, and I did add a very small amount. The result was a very good lather indeed and lots less mess than yesterday—plus it was quicker. The sopping wet brush simply dumped too much water into the tub, though that may just be me.
Three passes with the Feather AS-D2 holding a Feather blade. Than a splash of Fine’s l’Orange Noir. A great start to the day.
