Aug. 3, 2022 - Headless Mammoth Hoggin' Day 3
First day I had enough lather for 1 pass. The second day I had enough lather for 2 passes. On the third day, I finally made enough lather for 3 full passes so it should be smooth sailing from here. Yesterday I tried scooping and loading soap in an empty tub, but that wasn't very enjoyable so today I decided to try tub loading again because I like the simplicity of it, and I have too much soap so it's fine if I use more soap as long if I can get a solid lather. I tried shaking less water out of the brush today and that seemed to help with the loading, and I also did some loading with the tub upside down so that gravity can provide some assistance which may have helped to draw more soap toward the base of the knot. On the face, I still had to add quite a bit of water but in the end the lather was fantastic.
Visually, the brush seems to be breaking in nicely but when face lathering I definitely feel the pokiness from what I presume are the thicker bristles inside the brush. I'm not sure if those bristles will ever split so if I continue to feel those near the end of AA I might look for them and pull those out when AA is over.
With a solid lather, I was able to focus a bit more on my actual shave once again. A nice 3 pass shave with just a tiny bit of irritation from slight over shaving in certain areas, but nothing that the Mammoth balm couldn't take care of.
