After soaking or wetting the brush prior to a shave is it better to squeeze the hairs to eliminate the excess water, or shake the brush?
Also after the shave when I rinse the brush, is it better to squeeze the hairs to eliminate the excess water, or shake the brush?
I'm asking because I'm worried if I shake the brush too hard I'll rip the hairs out.

I've given mine some propper flicks of the wrist without problems, it's up to you though, you could just gently squeeze it with your hand! P.
 
After shave I vigorously flick brush over my knuckles to get rid of excess water, hoping the now rather dry tips will be good at wicking water from base of knot for a faster overall drying time.
 
As others have said, just couple of flicks of the wrist. Keep a tight grip though as I broke my basin when it slipped out of my hand a rew years ago.
 
I'm sure some potential new shavers must look at some posts and decide proper shaving is far too complicated! ! From whether or not to bloom soaps, leave lids off soaps, no pressure , swirl the brush or paint your face with lather. How many passes, is the soap slick enough, are badgers suffering. Sorry for this rant, no offence suggested.
