Thread: I don't think I'm doing it right

Soak the brush, get a wide toothed comb, and try to comb it out. Some hair conditioner or, even better, detangling spray will help. Be patient, work from the tips of the bristles to the handle, and don't force anything. Be gentle.

And going forward, you only need enough pressure to slightly flare the brush, you don't need to be mashing the handle down into the soap. It's the repeated motion that builds lather as you trap air in the wet soap...pushing harder will not speed up the process. Think of it as whisking eggs, as it's a similar technique.

haha you are dead right, gave it to my sister who owns a heap of dogs, and she gradually unknotted it....and I mean, they were seriously compacted knots..It took a while, so I guess that the reason mashing it into the bowl is a bad idea lesson learned

and now I have the Boar, which is a totally different experience altogether, I like the rougher feel big time, very very different from Badger, It's a proper massage for the bristles, but I made a complete mess of getting a lather, it was much easier with the Badger...maybe I just need to break it in, or the head was too wet, only used it the once now

Thanks for your advice again
