Drying Position.

Does it matter what position I leave my silver tip in to dry?

I'd have to say, it's always best to hang your brush with the knot facing down.
If water gets into the handle, and stays, it can make the knot pop out. Or worse, crack the handle.

There are certain universal questions we always get on the forum. Things like does razor size matter or grind, and how many strokes on the strop, and does linen matter and of course which way to dry a brush.

There is no absolute answer. Logic says better to keep the hair down otherwise gravity will cause moisture into the knot however many folks dry up and use the same brush day in and day out with no harm done.

Personally I do it both ways and always have. I've noticed no issues or degradation in any brush no matter which way the hair sits.

I agree it's up to the owner of the brush, but to me, it's better safe than sorry.
Not saying bad things will happen but why chance it

Once your brush clean from lather and well shaken over the sink,or the shower tub, before letting it dry up or downwards, put a towel on your shoulder and brush it with your shaving brush. It will reduce the drying time.
