So I am just staring on wet shaving. I am going to use a puck of vintage Williams. I have seen some videos / advice on B&B that say to soak the puck overnight on it's first use and then just 30 minutes or something on subsequent uses as it will already have some moisture. I plan to wet shave maybe once a week. Is there something you do with the puck between uses to keep it from drying out too much? Or do you just leave it in the bottom of the dry mug on the bathroom counter between uses?
I have similar questions for the brush. I am using a AP Shave Co synthetic with Synbad knot - not that I know what that means really. But do you do anything after shaving other than rinse the remaining lather/soap off of the brush and let it air dry sitting on the counter? I acquired a lightly used brush and it actually smells very nice - like it has talc in it. So I wasn't sure if that was something done for brush care or if it was just maybe last used to apply talc rather than a lather.
I have never used talc, so for those that do like to apply talc after shaving, do you do so with a separate brush from the one you just shaved with or do you just do so with your hands... or some other method?
Sorry for all the noob questions. Thank you!
