Try giving the brush a couple of washes with regular shampoo or even pet shampoo if you have it, let it dry between washes. I found this works for some brushes, others I have found you just need to keep using and the funk fades with use.Just picked up a new kent silver tip.
My gosh it pongs.
How long until the badger smell dissipates? It's been a week now. . . .
Any tips to mellow the aroma?
