I have a very old Plisson 2 band I found at an antique store about 3 or4 years ago. Smelled of musty cardboard, or that "antique store" smell. Lathered some Williams soap about 5 or 6 times rinsing very thoroughly after each time. Worked like a charm!

Notice the black and white bands on the badger hair. 2 band on the left, 3 band on the right.
My Plisson may look 3 bandish.... but is a high loft 2 band. Loft is how much hair is set above the handle.
Gotcha. What i though but clarification is always better. My motto, the stupid question is the one not asked
Yes, soap is soap however do you know who owned it? Do you know for a fact it was used for soap? Maybe it was used to apply ......(fill in the blanks). That's why I don't use a used brush.
Even if it was used for shaving soap no matter what you do you'll never get the base of the knot really cleaned.
If you have ever re-knotted a brush,As big says,you will not believe the stuff that is in the base of the knot,can be very ugly.
