Thread: My new brush is shedding

Neckbone,,, there's a good chance that the shedding is due to stress,,,,, yes, badger brushes can become stressed out & start dropping hairs. If you are using cheap soaps like Williams & VDH all the time,,, not giving them a warm rinse after the shave, then just tossing them on the counter after use,,, this causes stress on the badgers.
You should always use a good soap or cream, warm rinse, shake, fluff ,, then shake & fluff again,, then hang them upside down to dry,,,, also have at least 3 brushes in your rotation , so they get a few days off inbetween lathers. The leaves you with a happy badger that does not shed.
