Great shave. Now that my soap collection is in the low 30's (as opposed to almost 50 at one point), I'm toying with the idea of loading less soap. Don't worry, I'm still a hate-loader at heart, but I'm finding myself open to trying new things.

Today, I went at the soap with a slighter wetter brush than normal, and didn't load for very long. I still got plenty of good lather, so there you go. With a boar or badger I might have needed to load more, but with a synthetic this method worked, as much as I hate to admit it.
