Soap BayRum - Testing Soap Sample
Brush Yaqi 24mm Sagrada Familia
Lather from the soap was quite ok for the performance...but the scent is unlike any bayrum as compare to the other 4 soaps I have. Perhaps no spices.

Now for something completely different...

Ever-Ready 55 vintage horsehair knot (very fine horsehair)
Modern Williams Mug

This brush hates a dense lather. Very soft face feel, zero scrub. Paint, splay, whatever - just a soft transfer of lather from brush to face.

After seeing MrBeez Williams Mug lathers on those two Yaqi badgers, I had to see if I could get a finer grained Williams lather with my Shave Forge horse knot in the long honking handle I turned for it.

I moved up in lather bowl size twice during the experiment, finishing in a heavy copper Captain's Choice bowl.

Answer - slightly denser/finer lather, but horse=airy for me today.

Horse-airy! Excellent experiment! Ya I find the larger brushes make lathering with Williams a bit easier since there’s just more surface area there to work with. In the end I get a pretty decent lather it’s just not super dense but I find Williams to be so slick I’m fine with a thinner lather. And if anything I use less water with Williams. The key for me is to not over-think Williams. Just go easy on the water and swirl away.

Btw, nice looking handle there! May The Horse be with you. I just couldn’t resist
