New WSP 2-Band Badger Brush

Hello All,

So I just received my WSP "Monarch" 2-Band Badger Brush today, and am very excited to use it! My question; is there any special way I should go about "breaking in" a brush like this? Do I just use it as I would normally & let it break in on it's own? And if any of you own this brush, what do you think?? I appreciate any feedback you may have!!

Nice looking brush. You can start here:

Great!! Thanks for the tip! Mine seems to smell OK, but I'll go ahead and soak it anyway just to make sure.

That's a beauty! My advise regarding break in is just to use it.

Just make a test lather, if it smells than maybe do that tip. If it doesn't, don't bother.

As mentioned, just use it or do some palm-lathering to help get rid of any smell.
i have the same brush and they are fantastic!

Just use it.

Soaking is not necessary and I wouldn't recommend it, especially anything longer than a few minutes.

They're very good brushes.

I got one last week, it's very nice. I just test lathered it once then started using it.
