My money's on soap killer Al. I wouldn't be soaking any soap at all. Certainly not for 3 days.
I'll find out tomorrow.
The stubble is still too short to fret over today, and shaving tomorrow will replicate better the conditions of the last shave. Then we'll see whether the soap has settled down and/or if the fresh blade restores the shave to its proper standard.
Fingers crossed. Better a dud blade (or a one-off bad shave) than bad soap. Not that you don't have a small amount in reserve.
I have experienced some soaps that do improve with a good soaking. Williams Mug Soap is one.My money's on soap killer Al. I wouldn't be soaking any soap at all. Certainly not for 3 days.

Now I've got this one sussed out, I can go back and revisit the Mixed Midget and Oatcake scritchfest.
If you stuck with MWF and a synthetic fiber brush instead of torturing your face long after your curiosity was sated...
Al, I may be misreading things. Forgive me if I am.
I'm not sure if you are or not. The bone dry brush I loaded with on the last shave, after adding water to soap instead of brush, was synthetic. I don't try to use natural brushes dry. Does that change your perspective of what I was doing?
Anyway, I wouldn't give up on natural fibers without trying a Mistura, either in the SOC version or the smaller version Cal prefers whatever it's called which I can't remember right now.
