Thread: My first home-made brush

At least your attempt was irritation free, that is a bonus. As you lower the loft the brush should gain backbone/stiffness and it might not be as comfortable on your face as before. You could try putting an elastic band around the base of the knot at about where yo want to reset it to and try lathering again. That would give you some idea of how the brush would work and feel on the face if you reset it. By placing the band at different points and trying each time it would also give you a good idea of about where exactly you do want to reset it too for the best performance for your needs. Good luck, hope you get it all worked out. Keep us posted on your progress.
