P.S. you take a damn fine photo too.Glad to be of service. I hope you like it.
6 hairs in the first 6 uses was too many for me to accept. Maybe I should've given it time to recover?

Quick question - have you cleaned the brush with shampoo and conditioner? It's usually a 'go-to' for a people receiving brushes, first-hand or second-hand. I found the following steps have worked without fault for me;So what am I doing wrong?
I've soaked the brush, bloomed the soap (DR Harris Windsor), squeezed most of the water out of the brush, loaded for one minute and then lathered in my new bowl
The lather is airy, bubbly and not very peaky. The more I whip it up, it dissipates.
How does one use this Maseto brush? I have the same issue with the Semogue 1305.
Thanks!

Me neither, personally. Shampoo/baby shampoo/dog shampoo all do a good job as does a lather-and-leave approach. At least, I've had no qualms.Yeah, I never use conditioner on my brushes as it makes them practically unusable for a while.
Seeing as you've conditioned it, try a quick clean as deep as possible into the knot with your fingers with shampoo again until everything is squeaky clean. Give it another thorough rinse with warm (not too hot) water. Get a nice soft soap from your collection rather than the DR Harris Windsor, and try again. Make sure the knot is nice and damp/well soaked prior to use, make sure you load heavy this time. Let us know your findings.Steps that I took so far:
1. Clean it with dish soap
2. Clean it with shampoo
3. Lather up with cream and leave it over night. Next day there was nothing left in the knot.
4. Lather up again with cream and leave it. A few hours later the knot was again dry with nothing left inside.
5. Lather it up with hard soap. I got the airy bubbly lather.
6. Start reading the whole thread on Maseto brushes
7. Use conditioner. Leave for five minutes, then rinse.
8. Load up again hard soap and bowl lather. Pictures above.
9. Rinse it, squeeze as much water as possible out of it and load again. This time I got better results, but still a little bubbly. There is room for improvement.
