Thread: Breaking in Brushes

It depends on the brush. I find that the densely packed two band super badger brushes take around 20 uses to break in with the flow through drastically improving from use 1 to use 20.

Boar brushes also take awhile to break in. As the hairs split, they become much softer and the lather retention become better.

Standard three band super badger brushes do not seem to require a break in at all.
