Jayaruh #327 First Lathering

To get Jayaruh #327 silvertip badger brush ready for next week's shaves, I did a first lathering with it today. I used De Vergulde Hand (The Guilded Hand) shave soap as the first soap.  I used my green glass bowl to lather in.

Ready to go

I wet the brush and loaded it for 30 seconds.

I put a little water in the bowl and began to build the lather.

A little more water drizzled in the bowl and more lather building.

At this point, I let the brush sit for about 30 minutes.

After I rinsed the brush, I towel dried it with
painting motions and then let it air dry.

Now it is ready for next week's shaves.
