For a few months now when I shave I fill my sink full of hot water and then put the brush in this hot water to soak and get hot.

Anyway my question is since most people probably just wet the bristle and not the whole brush I have been wondering if soaking the whole brush is good for it.

My thought is that it doesn't make any difference because the bristles will wick water back into the handle but then again I am only guessing.

Any comments...........................
