  • Blade: Elios Inoxidable (1)
  • Lather: London Razors/Summer Break Soaps - Mountain Laurel - Soap

Once upon a time, @Old_Hiker@sub.wetshaving.social mentioned that he didn't soak his boar brushes. Today I decided I would step into his shoes.

A short run under warm water (30-45 seconds, maybe?) and it was good to go. Just as good, if not better, than a 10-15 minute soak.

This brush is, of course, already broken in most of the way, so maybe a soak is a good idea with newer boar brushes.
