I need some advice on how many lathers a Semogue 2000 boar brush needs to be broken in.
The background is that I'm attempting to post a comparison between this boar brush and some of my badger brushes. I bought the Semogue new and have been defunking it (3 palm lathers) and breaking it in with palm lathering (5 times) and face lathering (2 times). The brush has dried fully (24 h) between break in lathers. I have been using Martin de Candre and Pré de Provence soaps. I can still feel the individual bristles on my skin.
My questions to those of you who have broken in a Semogue 2000 are:
1. How many lathers does it take for a Semogue 2000 to be considered 'broken in'?
2. Are you supposed to feel the individual bristles when face lathering with this brush when it's broken in?
My intention is to break in the brush adequately to make the comparison. I have used boars (including the SOC) before but I don't want to jump into conclusions regarding the break in for this particular brush.
The brush looks like this now (wet from this mornings face lathering):
