I have had this brush for probably around 8 months now. Before this I was using an Omega badger hair brush. The 1305, once broken in, has been much softer on my skin, and makes a great lather. But for some reason, almost every time I use it, it will shed 1 or 2 hairs. If I shaved every day, it would probably be completely gone by now. Is it possible I am causing this by doing something wrong with the brush? I store it upside down in a brush holder, rinse it out after every shave. I am wondering if the way I make lather is possibly hard on the brush. I dont just swirl it around in the bowl, I will also push it down into the bowl as well, if that makes sense. Anybody have any ideas?
