This is easy. Fill a coffee cup with half warm water and half vinegar...it will turn all of the soap residue back into oil which you then shampoo out....works REALLY well on brushes with built up soap lather residue :tu

For the life of me,I do not understand how what the OP did can be detrimental to a badger brush.
Use 2-3 O-rings
These will "tight" the knot very hard
Do it when it semi-wet and let it few hours
Then release the O-rings and let it dry completely.
That trick will restrict the over-bloom.
I was talking to another member a week or so ago, he deliberately leaves the excess soap in his brush for the next day, not sure on the exact method to re use the lather mind you. This was a tip he got from his mentor I believe.
I've had that happen inadvertently...usually when rushing a shave (don't let brush soak long enough and don't add enough water to lather) the outside of the brush dries up a bit. It makes the bristles crispy/crunchy instead of soft and makes them clump together a bit.
I prefer my silvertips soft :p
I agree with Castel33. Give it a good rinse, to get the left in cream all out, and then just keep using it. After a few shaves it will come back to the way it was before.
I've also left shaving cream in my good 26mm silvertip over night by accident and its no big deal. rinse it out and just continue to use it. :)
