Thread: Best way to eliminate excess water from a shaving brush

After soaking or wetting the brush prior to a shaveis it better to squeeze the hairs to eliminate the excess water, or shake the brush?

Also after the shave when I rinsethe brush,is it better to squeeze the hairs to eliminate the excess water, or shake the brush?

I'm asking because I'm worried if I shake the brush too hard the hairs will come out in time.
