Well, here are the pictures of the Walnut Stained Maple Handle with Silvertip Knot during the break in process.

The soap that I use is new Williams to get the residual smell out of the brush and to give it a proper break in. I went and lathered both forearms with this brush once a day for two days.
Here is what the brush looked like afterwards.
Here is the first lather up with new formulation Williams.
So lather can be made with new Williams on the first try.
