Interesting thread. Make sure to remove your brushes from the shower! If your wife is like mine, she will consider it a gift and you will be in the market for a new brush to break in.

Privates Lathering Technique...
This belongs in another forum lol!
Just stay away from mentholated soaps!
My 10104, was broken in when I got it, has been used almost daily for 5 years since then, and it looks less broken in than yours.
Feel free to come over and wash the car with a brush!
After a gentle shampoo and some brushing with a small tooth comb I got it back into shape.

It made lather beautifully and the shave with the straight went well.. BBS in 15 mins.
I'm happy again. View attachment 973660
I'm still a little miffed at the wastage of lather so I asked a buddy if I could borrow a small brush and he lent me a tiny omega 13522.
He's had it for 2 years and complained that it still feels skirtchy so I did the MBBM on it lol.

Just for fun I whipped up some lather and it's just the right about for my daily DE shaves. So I'll be looking for a great small boar brush so much for the search is over thread lol!
Dear Lord! You made the Omegas look like Semogues!
they do feel much softer and splay better then when I first got them !
At least now you don't have to spend months n months trying to break in a brush!
@mawashi , either we like it or not, you have written history in wetshaving. The most effective break in method, ever devised by man!
From now on, whoever uses your method to break in a boar, will say: "I am become Mawashi, destroyer of boars".
Latest reports say that boars all over the world, cower in fear at the sound of your name!
Boar Fighter,
Oh no... I've only just touched the surface, brushes today, razors tomorrow and thereafter, the WORLD muah hahahaga... Cough cough...
I wonder what other mischief I could get myself into lol! Self lathering/rising soap made from beer and yeast, self sharpening blades and fully adjustables razors... Muah hahaha lol.
Mawashi, at this pace, you will be renown in all the internet in no time and considered Albert Einstein of wet shaving. The man who imagined the unimaginable!

I'll stick to towell stroping. Thanks.
