Thread: First Full Shave - Brush problem?

+1 It's quite normal for a new brush to shed for a bit until all of the hairs that didn't quite make it into the knot base cement slide out and fall away.It should happen less and less as you use it.

+2 it's normal.

Raff,

As the previous posts have noted, its quite normal to lose a few hairs from the knot of your brush initially and even over time with repeated use. It shouldn't impact the ability of your brush to make good lather, though.

My badger brush shed an occasional hair or three on a regular basis for the first six years or so, then it stopped. I've had it for eleven years now with no complaints. Worry not about yours.
Namaste,

Vulfix is a good brush manufacturer with a solid reputation. I lost some hairs initally with all 3 of my new brushes (one Vulfix, and rwo Stephen's from SRD) so your lose seems in line with my experience. If, however, the loss continues after a few weeks contact the vendor where you purchased it.

Yes, this will happen with a brand new brush. As mentioned, it's just the hairs that aren't locked into place properly falling out. It will settle after a few uses.

The brush will always shed the occasional hair throughout it's lifetime.

Vulfix is a very good manufacturer. There's nothing to worry about there.

Not saying there is a quality problem, but as far as dropped hairs go my Vulfix is the most shedding-prone of my brushes by a long shot. It drops 2-3 every time I use it, as opposed to my other brushes which will lose 1-2 in a month of solid use.
