My Brush is Shedding Like Crazy
I'm new to SR shaving and put together an ill thought out set of gear when I got started. The brush was inexpensive and labeled as 100% Pure Badger. I've used it daily for 12 days now and have experienced shedding every day. It started out losing long hairs and now has moved onto increased loss with small broken hairs in the mix. It's irritating to see the shaving cream bowl filled up with hairs and then I end up picking them off my face as well.
I read some older threads about what could cause this and since I hang my brush upside down to dry, don't mash my brush down in the bowl or on my face, and don't use overly hot water that would soften the glue, I think I just have a bad brush.
Any other thoughts on this as I begin my search for a new brush? I wouldn't think this is normal for a decent brush.
