Why is blooming soaps silly? It makes the top softer and easier to load. The extra water is used to put on the face.
It is unnecessary.... Like flipping blades and shimming blades. It also makes you use more soap...which is wastefull.
Unnecessary. Maybe I personally find it to use less soap because I dont have to load the brush as long.
Actually this all came out of my adversion to folks blooming Williams..... Kinda spread from there to my you tube videos.
Quiz time!!!!! One lather is from a bloomed soap, the other is from a dry cake and wet brush. And yes, it is Williams. Can you guess which is which? Please, no wagering. The first picture shall be referred to as the "hand held mug": The second picture shall be referred to as the "mug on the floor": Feel free to call a friend or use a lifeline.
The softer soap loads quicker. That is my thinking. Most use to much soap anyway. Like they want butter cream to shave with... (Glares at @Linuxguile )
The handle feels good in the hand, and it isn't so big that it falls out of the mug and into the sink, (not that that has ever happened, last week, but, anyway). I have only owned one boar brush, so I can't compare the knot to other piggy brushes. It seems to work really well.
Wil be using a soap tomorrow I use more in the fall/winter, but we have some dry cool weather here for a few days. Naturally,I bloomed it a bit. I was thinking maybe I should give ALL my fall/winter soaps a blooming, just to remind them I know they're waiting to be used.
We can call it the "WCHNU Roast"( a la those of Dean Martin). The roastee always roasts the roasters in the end anyway.
Do you work for Pasteur's Pharmacy??? . (In case you missed the posts about that place, it's a gold mine for shave-related stuff).
