The fella who gave me his Semogue kept complaing that his brush was too stiff and I would ask him if he soaks his brush. I got a blank look. So I explained to him about soaking.....he said he didn't have time for that. I explained how it prolonged the life of the brush and break in and bristle wear etc. ......blank look. Then he finally gave me the brush. Now , every time he see's me he's always asking me how the brush is doing ? Fine I reply..."works like a dream". Blank look....... what's a guy to do cept shave .
You mentioned flow though of the lather from knot to face and I found the same thing. Some brushes give up the lather well and some hog it. It doesn't matter if it is boar or badger either. I hate to mention it in this thread but the best brushes I have had to date for creating a lather and passing it through as needed have been Muhle silver tip synthetic brushes.

I get it. You know in the long scheme of things what it really comes down to is...."it's a brush for heavens sake" and it's far better than squirting goo from a can into your hand and getting that oh so chemically fresh feeling right ?! So if whatever brush used is working........well....then it's working lol right ??!:D
I'm off now guys. Work calls......
Yeah, I should probably stop being so lazy, it's just that I don't have the time to soak my brush whilst I shower) :)
I suppose that brittle bristles would be more prone to snapping, but in seriousness I get on pretty well with my current lather making ways, but I should try the soak again I suppose.
