Proraso soap in a tub

Using my new HJM Black fibre synthetic this morning in a jar of proraso white:

Let a teaspoon soften the soap while showering.
Dump water into lathering bowl
Squeeze most of the water out of the brush
Load for 40 seconds until the brush is soaked
Lather using extra water once in a while.

I had a great shave.

I use a SOC boar and load from the tub. I hold the tub sideways over the sink while I load so the proto lather spills into the sink, because it is easier to clean up afterwards. I usually load for about 20 to 30 seconds.
