This was used today. The soap is Issy 100% Olive Oil Soap. The brush was in a bad mood today and fell apart. I used a lighter to melt the base wax and fixed it.

Mama Bear Rosemary & Lime
Soap technique (started 1 week ago) - Soak Brush in hot water/1 tsp glycerin while showering. Cover soap with warm water after shower. Rinse face with hot water. Empty shave bowl and shake out brush. Dump soap water into bowl. Quick swirl brush into soap water and apply to face. Swirl again in soap water. Dump little remaining. Charge brush in soap until some lather over sides. Make lather on face. Add water as needed each pass. Hot water rinse between passes. Still good lather in brush at end of 3 passes plus cleanup lather.
