Give it some more time,Simpson,Rooney,Thater,Plisson, all make fine top of the line brushes,but all will shed to a point.
All my brushes are homebrew TGNs,they all shed in the beginning,than they stop except for an errant hair now and than.The same as any other shaving brush.

Ten 4 and thanks again.

How long is "the beginning"? One year? Two years?

I'm still getting enough shedding to be annoying 3 of every 4 shaves. The knot is a year old and I feel like i'm babying it, like it's the most delicate thing in the room.

update: another contact with the supplier yielded a replacement knot. and also I ordered from the other source too. BAD
