I purchased a Simpson's Emperor 2 about a month ago from Vintageblades. It is a beautiful brush. Jim picked a really nice one for me. Anyways, when I first got it, it was shedding 2-3 hairs and sometimes 6-8 hairs a shave for about the first week. But while it was more than expected, I didn't worry about it because I remember reading that loosing a few hairs during the first week is normal. Since that time, it has definitely tapered off, but it is still loosing a couple hairs (2-3) each week. I only ask if I might have a shedder because I have a Simpson's Case in Best badger and although it has been a daily user for about a year, I only recall it loosing one hair, even during the break-in period. So, I'm just a bit concerned that the Emperor might end up looking like the back of my head if it continues. Should I be concerned or is loosing 2-3 hairs after a month of use normal?
