First Lathering for Jayaruh #317

I used Archaic Eureka Shaving Soap for the first lathering of Jayaruh #317 with a two-band badger.

Here is the set up.

I wet the brush with cold water and loaded it for 30 seconds.

I added about a tablespoon of water to the bottom of the cup and worked up this lather.

I let it set for a few minutes and then cleaned it all up.

All cleaned up.

Jayaruh #317

Jayaruh #317 is a 400 type brush made from oak. The handle is 82mm, and the 2-band badger is 25x55mm.
