Just a quick question. If I fill my sink with hot water and leave my brush to soak in that while I take a shower, will that loosen the glue holding the bristles to the handle? Should I stop doing this?

Why would you want to soak your brush in sink? If it is badger and I am a face latherer, those hairs are quite gentle after a few min in sink while I moisten my face same time to get ready for shave.
I think some of you guys are a bit much with this. I run hot water from the faucet over my brush for 20 seconds and I still have to shake out the excess water and I have enough lather to shave five times. if you have a badger brush soaking it is just overkill.
The point for me isn't to get it soft. Rather, it's to make the brush as warm as possible so the lather stays hot.
Yes, but the brush gets only so hot. leaving it soak in a tub of water doesn't make it any hotter then running hot water on it and the hair doesn't retain the heat any better either. Either way the lather gets cold within seconds of hitting your skin. Using a scuttle is the best way to keep the lather warm.
