Pff Yeah I can't wait till they sort that nonsense out either. Probably a long time before that happens..
I travel with my Omega 49 at the moment, do the same thing, use it in the evening, let it dry mostly throughout the night, travel in the morning and as soon as I arrive in a hotel take it out to dry again. So only mostly damp in a suitcase, hope it'll be OK!
I'll have a look at some synthetic brushes but as long as this works I think I'll keep travelling like this and if it turns out I need a new brush I'll switch to a synthetic one. Love how the hairs split and it gets better after every use though, makes it quite rewarding to use it every day!
Thanks for the advice!
