    I got my new boar brush two days ago, used it yesterday. I washed in a few times to help the boar smell out, reminded me of a bad kitty liter box for some reason... anyway, the hairs are now splayed out in an odd fashion, something I'm not familiar with having only used badger. And when the hair is wet, it groups up into maybe 7 bunches of hair, not uniformed and centered. Please forgive my ignorance, but, Is this normal? Did I wash it too much or break the hairs? Or will they just not clump together the way badger does?

    You haven't done anything wrong. That's just the way boar hair dries - at least the thinner smoother type of hairs, thicker ones quickly dry and ungroup.

    Once your brush is completely dry, just stroke it once and it will return to normal - not that it's necessary.

    Nice brush!

    As mentioned you have not done a thing wrong. I use boars most of the time & as I have two i rotate them. This gives them a better chance to dry.

    All I do to "dry" a boar is...After a thorough rinse with warm water, shake the brush in the shower until it stop spraying out water 5-7 times usually does the trick. Then i paint stroke lightly on a dry towel. This just fluffs it up a bit. Then on the side of the sink to dry.
