Here is a phenomenon I've noticed that, to my knowledge, has not been widely discussed on this forum and would love to get others opinions on this matter.
Earlier this fall, I purchased a Rooney Heritage Emillion (). For the first few weeks, it would take days (usually 3-4) for the brush to dry properly. I thought this was due to the brushe's densely packed knot, but where it gets interesting is that as time went on, the brush would dry out much faster, to the point where drying time is now fairly consistent, usually dries out completely in 24 hours.
I don't think this is due to varying levels of humidity - I always use a similar routine when drying the brush and leave it to dry upside down on a brush stand on the bathroom countertop.
Is this a part of the breaking-in process that you've also noticed in your own brushes?
