Life span of silver tip badger brush

[Chandu]

Yes, true, I can totally agree with that.
My example happened within minutes with 190g/Lt, if I were to dilute that to 0.5g/Lt then rub it on my face and wash it off within 10 minutes but let it accumulate in my brush for twelve months? Deep down in that knot the hair is jambed together.
Human hair Depilatory creams etc eat hair, but only eat skin if left on too long? A case of some things are ok for certain times at certain concentrations.

Fair point if one used some harsh stuff near daily and did not do a good job of cleaning the brush.

Let me open another can o' worms. "Gelled" aka chemically abused tips. I can't believe they will last as long as non gelled.

Oumo used to have charts with their various knots illustrating things like softness, backbone, etc, and one of the things they called out was service life. According to them, gelled tips don't last nearly as long. But I've seen no hard numbers as to how much less longevity they might have.

Proper care extends life of most thing .
Abuse shortens life.

Let's hope not, I can't stand them To my mind 'gelling' is nothing more than a way to disguise an inferior product.
