Simpsons CH2 Chubby Synthetic Bristles brush

Alum and Polar Ice Booster splash
I soused, bloomed or otherwise soaked my shriveled puck of The Fat yesterday mostly to set up a joke in my shave report. However, the lather was so much better than what I got the previous day off the dried out puck that I am now wondering if using The Fat regularly so that the puck stays hydrated is a key to a great shave with this soap. So I have decided to keep using it for the rest of the month. In which case, I might as well stick with the rest of the gear too and declare a Rule... I haven't done one for a couple years anyhow, so it might be time to do so and concentrate on a technique refresher.
Today got it off to a good start. Great lather from the still-moist puck; top class brush action from the super-dense Chubby; easy DFS in two passes with the razor and blade. And I am finding that I quite like the skin feel of the Polar Ice Booster. Just a good shave for Day 3 with this gear.
Hope everyone is doing well as we coast over the Hump of the week. And Jason, hope you feel better soon. Same for Terry with your shoulder. And I am still praying for those who asked for it in the last few days.
