Because I'm loading the brush so much (I don't stop until the brush is really loaded - about 2 minutes or more for the initial load, and maybe another 20 seconds in between passes), I don't think loading the brush is the issue. I also have plenty of experience with soap samples, because I typically never buy a soap unless I've tried a sample first, and these are the first soaps to ever give me trouble in 5 years. Mitchell's Wool Fat was easy, as were DR Harris, Czech & Speake, Meissner Tremona, etc.
