Thread: Hairs coming out my brush

I have just Brought a used "kENT P4 Shaving Brush But I am getting a bit worried about it though a lot of the hairs seem to be falling out of the brush if I slightly pull the hairs from the middle of the brush i get a load in my hand in in the photo that's the result of 3 little tugs can someone tell what is happing and how to stop it please. Thanks

Email the vendor and quit tugging on the bristles. I would suspect you have a replacement coming to you.

Since you bought it used I think your only recourse may be to re-knot it

Bought it used ? In that case ..... don't pull on the bristles. I've seen brushes shed for awhile and then settle down. Use it and shake it out. You might get lucky and have it quit shedding. I've got one that shed for a year and quit. If I showed it to you .... you would never know it shed a hair. They have thousands and thousands of bristles. What may look like a lot may not even make a dent. Then again, it might ....

Thanks guys

You can't stop shedding except by not pulling on it of course. Either it will stop shedding or continue until it's unusable. Since you bought it used you're only recourse is contact the seller and ask for your money back.

The problem is you have hairs coming out of the knot and there is no way to predict the extent of the problem. Maybe if you removed the knot and inspected it carefully it might tell you something and maybe knot.

There is one thing you can do. You should only attempt it when you have decided nothing else will work and you are going to throw it away. You will need a tube of super glue. Not the thick stuff but the stuff that is liquid like water. Hold the brush by the handle and squirt the glue around the base of the bristles. That will cause the glue to go inside by capilary attraction and should go mostly all the way to the center. Let it set overnight to dry good before using. The only problem is the base of the bristles for about a quarter of an inch up will be rock hard. This is a last ditch effort but should work. I did it to a cheap badger brush and it fixed the problem but like I said it is not a perfect solution.

Really shouldn't happen. Contact the vender or the manufacturer and see if they can help. Even if it's not new to you it shouldn't do it. Be pleasant and ask them for a solution.

i agree contact the vendor. a little hear loss is normal this not imo.

Wait until you get old enough for it to come out of your ears, now thats disappointing.
