Was running out of lather late in the shave. Not sure why, this brush is kinda finicky like that sometimes.

Damp washcloth aka “shave binky”
Ω 10048 28mm boar brush
Pre-shave: no
Lather: Col Conk Unscented, face-lathered

Post-shave: hot shower
Post-shave: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream

The last day celebrating @Colonel Conk products in the SOTD theme bearing their name, but not the last day enjoying the use of their soap.

Placed my Ω 10048 piggy brush bristles down in a coffee cup of cold water several hours before shaving and experienced both the softness felt with the Whipped Dog piggy brush in previous shaves. Also had two shaves in a row where no prep was no problem. I suspect ambient humidity over well-soaked piggy brushes, but good is good.

WTG, XTG, and ATG and I was close enough for the win! Aftershave said I was too close, but that’s okay. Will see if showering before shaving makes these results even better.
