I sold the chubby , but im picking up what your laying down. However, the chubby will pick up more water due to the shear volume of hair. But, it will not absorb it.
It is easier to dry a badger brush than a boar IMHO. Using the same routine with a chubby 3 or semogue 1305 ( big difference in brush size )ie 4-5 whips in the shower cubicle & a couple of swirls & paint strokes on a dry towel & sit on the side of the sink, both on their handles. 24hrs later, next shave, the chubby is bone dry, the 1305 is not.
A gent by the name of Zach who is a respected authority on brushes on other forums state that - Badger is non porous, boar is porous.
