Thread: Brushes. Store up or down?

I have an older boar brush where the bristles are kinda leaning to the side, so I just ordered a new badger brush.

My question is: Is it important to "hang" your brush so the bristles are hanging down, or can you just leave your brush on the counter with the bristles up?

Thanks.

I do not think it matters, I keep mine up and has not shown any signs of shedding.

I do both because one of my brushes doesn't fit the brush stand. As long as you shake your brush out well after rinsing it, you should be fine either way.

this old chesnut!

so long as you give the bristles a squeeze and then rub the tips on a towel (at least, thats what I do) then it makes no difference.

Store it whichever way the maker's name reads right side up.

OR

Buy a tabletop gyroscope and give it a flick every time you walk by to give the hairs an opportunity to dry in near zero G conditions.

BTW, does it come in white?
