How long do you soak a badger brush?

I soak any brush I use(primarily a #6 horse(?) from bestshave), in my lather bowl filled with hot water, for the duration of my shower. I stand the brush up in a wash cloth in the bowl and so only soak the bristles not the knot.

 

Same, soaks while in shower regardless of type.

 

Better be nice to your"elders"

 

I don't soak my brushes. I just wet them, squeeze, load, and go to the face.

 

I'm with Ryan on this one - no need to soak a badger. I just run it under warm water and start lathering!

 

By the way - that isn't me...

 

A badger brush doesn't need extra soaking - unlike a boar brush, which takes a few minutes to absorb water. A few seconds in water will do the trick

 

I'm glad for that. The glob on the front of the shirt is a dead Canned-Goo giveaway!

 

I also soak mine while I shower. Seems to work well for me.
