    Your worrying about the small stuff, every time you lather your cleaning it anyway, but how about when a barber used a brush all day long on multiple people? , it was dry the next morning. If you want a large knot then get one, I have a massive 32mm knot that drys just fine, but it also waste a lot of lather. They dry though. Heck before I got into steaight shaving I used one brush for 20 or so years. Rest easy and don't sweat the small stuff , just shave and be happy. Tc

    I live in single digit humidity country and though the main part of the brush is dry the next day the core is still damp and I shake dry my brushes after use.

    Also barbers really did not buy high end goods to use in their shops with the exception of basic but quality razors and strops because they lasted forever. The other stuff like brushes were just replaced as needed. Brushes really weren't used anymore once the latherking machines came out and they just applied lather with their fingers. prior to that if you caught some bug in the shop well too bad.
