Thread: lifespan of brush?

What is the expected life span of a decent quality silver tip badger brush? I use three brushes in sequence. The first brush I bought is a Parker which I used exclusively
until the second purchase, a semoque 2040HD, The third another Semoque 2015HD. I soak the brushes in a cup of hot water while my scuttle warms up. The Parker
started shedding first, now the 2040HD has started tho shed. I will admit that the Parker has slowed down. Do brushes reach a point where they reach a stable point
after the knot has let go of the less securely encased hairs? TC I expect you to chime in on this.
I would post a picture of my brushes if I had the skill to do so.
