@David09 , whatever you decide to do, good luck, and I hope you eventually get a good badger without a shedding problem.
This maybe a silly question and not to insult anyones intelligence, but when you soak your Simpson do you soak the whole thing or just the first two inches of the bristles?
Thanks. I have a number of badgers that don’t shed. Just not the brand in question. My Edwin Jager is lovely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I've had about 10 Simpson brushes over the years and can't say any had a shedding issue however, major QC issues were experienced! From wonky knots to "best" badger knots that were definitely "pure" badger!! I sold all but the Commodore X2, which is my favorite Simpson brush and also has the perfect sample of "best" grade hair.
What I was trying to imply and @PLANofMAN stated is that Simpsons are a traditionally made brush (been around 100 years) not intended a full on soaking. A full on soaking will destroy the wheat paste glue used. They need to have their bristles soaked, but only about 2 inches (standing bristles down) for a few minutes (no more than five), after which no more added benefits come from soaking. Other brush can handle full submersion soaking due that they use different glues. I have restored many brushes and have seen the ill effects of over soaking (loose knots, severe shedding and major cracks). This was not intended to pick on you, but only educate.
Thank you. I didn’t take your comments in a derogatory manner. New information for me is great. Thanks for your input. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I have a couple Simpson brushs and I haven't had any troubles with hair loss. Sorry to hear about your exper
If anyone wants to see complaints about shedding by Simpson brushes, go look at the reviews on Fendrihan Canada. Maybe that long flight across the Atlantic has some kind of derogatory effect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
