I've a question that I'm curious about.
How long do find it takes to truly break in a brush? Your brushes?
Here's what I mean. Last year when I began str8 shaving, I purchased a Vulfix 41. I really love this brush. It lathered and felt great right from the beginning. However, in the last two months, I could swear that it's holding more water, the bristles are softer, and it makes a better lather.
Same think with my Frank Shaving. I ordered the short knot some time ago, and thought it was very stiff (compared to my Vulfix). Yet, in the last two weeks, much of the backbone has left the bristles. It's not entirely floppy like the V41, but it's a tonne softer than it was 3 months ago.
Am I out of my mind, or do these things really change a bit over time?
Thanks,
Maxi
