brush shedding; how long?
Hi all. About 5 months ago I bought an AoS Fine Badger brush new (AoS is generally a little spendy for me, but I happened to stop in to my local store when they were having a clearance sale on their combination packs that include a brush, and so I got a not too crazy price). It's my first non-synthetic brush, and I Really like it, nice backbone without being prickly.
That being said, it seems to shed a couple of hairs every time I shave (which is pretty much every day), usually into my mug as I'm lathering. I expected that for the first few months, but Is that normal this far along? I do my best not to mash it when lathering, to clean it out after every shave, and shake out the water as best I can. I do store it bristle-up (I just don't have a stand) and I haven't ever washed it with detergent, I don't know how much that matters.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
