It was a little more than 24 hours after I set these knots with silicone that I did this test lathering. I decided not to defunk the knots because they have only a very slight scent to them now. So, I proceeded to their first lather with C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream. I used cold water and did a brief soak, then using about an almond size dollop, I began to make lather. I lathered the JR #11 first and set it aside for the lather to work on the knot. Then I did the same for the JR #30RS brush. I let them set for a time and then rinsed them and towel dried them. Now, they are air drying. I will post pictures of them after they dry and are fluffed.

| Beautiful lather. |

| They both performed equally well. |

| Here they are after a thorough rinse and a towel dry. Now they will air dry, and tomorrow I will fluff them and get pictures of their blooms. |
