Hi everyone,

I had heard at one point in regards to brush maintenance that you shouldn't press down on the brush too hard and splay the hairs completely out. I find this to be difficult to often avoid especially with loading a brush with a hard soap or even working a lather in my scuttle. I've only seen this once while doing research on brush maintenance, but I wanted to get some more experienced people's feedback as I do not want to damage a well-made/expensive piece of work.

TIA,
Derrick
