    Surely the whole point of a shaving brush is to meet our needs as shavers. I initially paint a layer of lather over my face, then scrub and circular massage for as long as I wish before smoothing over gently with paint strokes. I'm quite sure my Simpsons brushes can cope for a few years.

    To seek to protect a brush would be a bit like never exceeding 1500 revs in a high powered car. Wouldn't life be dull!

    That is a good point, Fido. However, I have always wondered how shaving brushes were intended to be used. In my limited experience, the shaving brush is the only brush people do perpendicular circular motions with. That said, they are tools, and a person can use a tool as they see fit. I believe those particular Simpson instructions were born from a time when that company was having issues with shedding shaving brushes.
