    Default Anyone else have a Vulfix that sheds like crazy?

    About a year ago I picked up a Vulfix 41 silvertip, and to this day it still sheds almost as much as my dog - at least 2 or 3 bristles each shave, and on rare occasion as many as 6 or 7...

    Don't get me wrong, absolutely love the brush and its soft, luxurious feel. So much so that I really don't mind the shedding much at all. And when it comes time for a new one - whether it be in 5 or 15 years - I'm pretty sure I'll get another 41.

    I'm just a little curious though how many other Vulfix fans find their brush to be a chronic shedder...

    I don't have one now however I have had a couple and never had shedding issues. Any brush can be a shedder. It just happens to the unlucky.

    Not a Vulfix but I have a high end brush that didn't shed .......... until it did....... then it was as you describe yours. After a few years of that it quit shedding (knocking on wood) and still has so much bristle that no one could ever tell it shed the first hair. Good luck with yours.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I had a Vulfix that shed as described, the seller made good on it. But I raised the issue at the outset, not after two years. Maybe contact Vulfix/Simpson customer service

    I have a Thater, not a hair shed. I have a Simpson, sheds every time it is used. I like them both.

    Mine is good, but I dry with bristles down after each use. I've heard that hot water over a long period of time and sitting bristles up effects a brush in a bad way. I won't do away with hot water, but I do dry one properly.

    You can tell if it's a winter killed, it's very cold on your face!
