This morning, I'd thought I'd be smart and soak only the bristles as usual except for about a 1/2" above the knot. I had the worse lather and brush-on-face ever. The Semogue 1250 is a sweet brush, so long as full length of its loft is properly/fully immersed in water for about 15 to 20 minutes. After not immersing the full length of the loft, it had too much backbone at the base and would not splay when I applied the lathered brush to my face. The bristles just above the knot were too stiff to allow the upper loft to splay as usual--it was horrible for bowl and face lathering. Before today, which was my fault, the 1250 always performed for me because I would immerse the brush (for at least 15 minutes) to where the knot enters the handle
This won't happen again; as I said, lesson learned. Tomorrow I'll soak the brush 'above the rim', i.e., the entire loft and part of the handle. I turned a great brush into a one-time-only poor performer. Just thought I'd pass this along.
