That was what I meant, I will use it while it breaks in. I have time.

I like it. I never got to try the tallow version, so I cannot compare to that, but it does a great job. It is still mildly scented too.
I am going to try and finish this off to free up my mug, but I will definitely have to purchase another once my stash thins out a bit.

The Process-
A very nice shave this morning. I did keep the same software, but changed out the hardware. I am trying to finish up this soap and use the Graydog, with the new knot, to get it broke in by using it. So you may see this brush a bit more in the near future. Today it did a great job with a soak in warm water. The tips are already soft and the splay is nice, with very little usage. I just have one more brush I would like to add to my collection, sometime in the future, and I will be set. Life is good!

You don't need to soak it long, 8 seconds max.

Nine seconds if you have hard water.
I find the time to soak less important than the temperature of the water. Cold water makes em shrink up.

If we were meant to use cold water, we would’ve have invented water heaters.I find the time to soak less important than the temperature of the water. Cold water makes em shrink up.
